Abstract:
Radiation treatment, including episcleral plaque radiotherapy, stereotactic radiosurgery, proton beam therapy and so on, is the primary eye-conserving choice for uveal melanoma. But the complications resulted from radiotherapy's nonselective kill to tumor cells can be visual-threatening and eventually result in the enucleation of eyeball. This review summarizes current radiation strategies for uveal melanoma and how these complications occur, develop and present, in the hope that it could provide insights for the radiation interventions and diagnosis of radiative complications.
