Annulus-shaped I-125 plaque brachytherapy for conjunctival melanoma

PURPOSE: To report successful ring-shaped iodine-125 plaque brachytherapy for conjunctival melanoma. OBSERVATIONS: Eye Physics (EP) plaque brachytherapy, designed with Plaque Simulator software, proved to be an effective treatment modality with some corneal irritation and no recurrence at 12-months...

description PURPOSE: To report successful ring-shaped iodine-125 plaque brachytherapy for conjunctival melanoma. OBSERVATIONS: Eye Physics (EP) plaque brachytherapy, designed with Plaque Simulator software, proved to be an effective treatment modality with some corneal irritation and no recurrence at 12-months post radiation. CONCLUSION AND IMPORTANCE: Management of conjunctival melanoma is complicated by the lack of gold standard adjuvant treatments. I-125 EP plaque brachytherapy represents a viable option for these malignancies. Specifically, ring-shaped plaque geometries allow for targeted radiotherapy.
