Local Recurrence in Choroidal Melanomas following Robotic-Assisted Radiosurgery (CyberKnife).

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Tumor recurrence in choroidal melanoma has been associated with decreased overall survival due to metastatic spreading. To detect risk factors of local recurrence and side effects, we analyzed tumor planning and treatment parameters in patients with recurrence of choroidal melanoma after treatment with robotic-assisted radiosurgery (CyberKnife).

Methods

Six hundred ninety-four patients treated with CyberKnife between 2005 and 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. Age, gender, best-corrected visual acuity, tumor height, and diameter were recorded. Treatment planning and radiation doses were reviewed. Salvage therapy, overall survival, metastasis, and complications were recorded.

Results

Seventy-four patients showed local recurrence. Local recurrence occurred
