Fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy for uveal melanoma: Long‐term outcome and control rates
Abstract Purpose The aim of our study is to evaluate local tumour control rates, radiation side‐effects, visual preservation and disease‐free survival (DFS) of uveal melanoma (UM) patients treated with fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (fSRT). Methods A retrospective study of UM patients, who were treated with fSRT (N = 189), was performed by the ...
