The results of radiotherapy of 18 patients with metastatic orbit tumors were analyzed in a retrospective study.

The findings of two patients showed an amelioration, and one patient did not present any therapeutic success at all. The late results of twelve patients could be determined. Nine of them showed nn recurrence of the orbit tumor. Severe side effects, especially cataracts, could not be observed.
