Clinical Experience of Stereotactic Radiosurgery at a Linear Accelerator for Intraocular Melanoma Combined with Iridociliary Tumor Resection: A Case Report.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The treatment of iridociliary and choroidal melanoma relies on the patient's systemic health, tumor size, location, related features, state of the opposing eye, and personal preferences. The two categories are radiation and surgical techniques. Transpupillary thermotherapy, plaque radiotherapy, charged particle irradiation, local resection, enucleation, orbital exenteration, and experimental nanoparticle therapy are all options for treating choroidal melanoma.

Case presentation

The method that entails creating a partial thickness circular, rectangular, or polyhedral scleral flap in the region covering the tumor after removing a portion of the extraocular muscles is the most popular method for local excision in choroidal or choroidal-ciliary body cancers. We disc
