Episcleral plaque brachytherapy precisely targets ocular tumors with radiation, minimizing damage to healthy eye tissues. This review highlights its indications, techniques, and complications for choroidal and retinal tumors.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Radiation Oncology
  • Medical Physics

Background:

  • Episcleral plaque brachytherapy is a focused radiation treatment for ocular tumors.
  • It utilizes radionuclide sources (e.g., I-125, Ru-106, Pd-103) placed on an episcleral plaque.
  • This method delivers a high radiation dose directly to the tumor, sparing surrounding eye structures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of ocular brachytherapy.
  • To detail the indications and treatment variations for choroidal and retinal tumors.
  • To discuss complications and emerging innovations in the field.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective literature review was conducted.
  • Searches were performed in PubMed, covering the period from 1998 to 2024.
