Radioactive phosphorus-uptake-testing variables before and after enucleation

B G Goldstein, D M Robertson

    Archives of Ophthalmology (Chicago, Ill. : 1960)
    |March 1, 1981

    Summary

    Radioactive phosphorus (32P) uptake in eyes with choroidal melanoma was higher after enucleation. Pre-enucleation probe pressure may artificially inflate 32P uptake values, impacting diagnostic accuracy.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Nuclear Medicine
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Radioactive phosphorus (32P) uptake is a diagnostic tool for choroidal melanomas.
    • Accurate assessment of 32P uptake is crucial for treatment planning.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare 32P uptake values before and after enucleation in eyes with choroidal melanoma.
    • To investigate the effect of pre-enucleation probe pressure on 32P uptake measurements.

    Main Methods:

    • A study involving 23 eyes diagnosed with malignant choroidal melanomas.
    • Comparison of 32P uptake percentages measured immediately before and after enucleation.

    Main Results:

    • In 21 out of 23 eyes, a higher percentage increase in 32P uptake was observed post-enucleation compared to pre-enucleation.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • In 11 eyes, the variation in 32P uptake exceeded 100%.
  • One eye showed a rise from 68% to 137% in 32P uptake post-enucleation.

    • Conclusions:

    • Pre-enucleation pressure from the detector probe can decrease local choroidal blood volume.
    • This decrease may lead to an artificially elevated calculated 32P uptake, potentially affecting diagnostic interpretation.
