Tilting of Radioactive Plaques After Initial Accurate Placement for Treatment of Uveal Melanoma

Status unconfirmed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Uveal Melanoma

In brief

Plaque radiotherapy is a common treatment for uveal melanoma. However, local failure has been reported in up to 20% of patients. We use intraoperative ultrasonography at plaque insertion and removal to evaluate plaque movement as a potential factor in local failure.
