    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Radiation Oncology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • The management of malignant intraocular tumors is evolving.
    • Improved identification and understanding of radiation sensitivity are key.
    • Radiation therapy techniques are becoming more central to treatment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore the changing role of radiation therapy in intraocular malignancies.
    • To highlight specialized techniques for minimizing ocular side effects.
    • To discuss the integration of chemotherapy in treatment protocols.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of current radiation therapy techniques for intraocular tumors.
    • Analysis of the application of Cobalt-60 plaques for choroidal melanomas.
    • Evaluation of radiation therapy as a primary treatment for retinoblastoma.

  • Assessment of chemotherapy's role as an adjuvant therapy.

    • Main Results:

    • Radiation therapy is crucial for uveal tract metastases.
    • Cobalt-60 plaques are increasingly used for choroidal melanomas.
    • Radiation therapy is a viable primary treatment for retinoblastoma, potentially replacing enucleation.
    • Chemotherapy shows promise as an adjuvant for retinoblastoma and uveal tract metastases.

    Conclusions:

    • Radiation therapy plays a pivotal and expanding role in managing malignant intraocular tumors.
    • Specialized techniques are essential to preserve vision and ocular structures.
    • Chemotherapy is an important adjuvant, though its role in malignant melanoma requires further investigation.
