Die bulbuserhaltende Strahlenbehandlung primärer intraokularer Melanome

Abstract: Primäre bösartige Tumoren des Auges sind selten. Unter diesen repräsentieren Aderhautmelanome (Uveamelanome, Chorioideamelanome) mit 75% die weitaus häuñgste Tumorentität (20% Retinoblastome, 5% primäre intraokulare Lymphome u.a.). Die bulbuserhaltende Therapie in Form der Lichtkoagulation bzw. Brachycurietherapie mit speziell angefertigten Augenkalotten konnte sich in den letzten 25 Jahren für Tumoren bestimmter Größe und Ausdehnung als Alternative zur Enukleation des Auges etablieren. In wenigen Zentren werd… Show more

“…In Germany, treatment with 106 ruthenium/ 106 rhodium applicators has been favored in recent years [36,53,[63][64][65][66][67]. The group in Münster/Köln reported, according to tumor size, an overall remission rate of 76% after 6 months in 175 consecutive patients [35,36], no change was seen in 16%. After a median follow-up of more than 3 years, overall tumor control rates were 82%: 88% for small tumors (≤ 3 mm prominence), 85% for large tumors (>5 mm) and 78% for medium sized tumors (3-5 mm).…”

“…Five-year overall survival for the whole group of patients was 75%, for those below 50 years of age 83%, for those between 50 and 69 years 80%, and for patients of 70 years and older 51%. On average, 37% of the patients, depending on the localization of the tumor, maintained a good vision after plaque treatment [35]; about 20% of the patients died because of metastases [33,34]. One of the most widely observed late effects of episcleral eye plaque brachytherapy in patients with posterior uveal melanoma is cataract formation [67,68].…”
