“…The role for ttt as an adjunct to radiotherapy is based on data from a retrospective case-matched comparative study (n = 36) and a retrospective observational study (n = 21) that were conducted in parallel to compare ttt alone with ttt plus plaque radiotherapy. The data showed that the local failure rate with ttt alone was 29% (that is, 6 patients); in the radiotherapy plus ttt group, regression was rapid, with no local failures, and no patient experienced metastasis 63 . Transpupillary thermotherapy can also be used to treat marginal recurrence after brachytherapy 60 ; a complete response rate of 29% has been reported 64 .…”

In the past five decades, the treatment options for intraocular tumors have expanded from one surgical option of enucleation to numerous regimens including radiotherapy. Radiotherapy has proven to be as efficacious in controlling the malignant lesion; however, normal ocular structures can also be affected. The lens is radio-sensitive and therefore the development of post radiation cataract commonly impairs vision and the ability to monitor tumor recurrence. Prevalence, severity, onset, and prognosis of radiation-induced cataract depend highly on the dose and rate of radiation. Recently, additional studies have given insight into this important relationship and the efficacy of treatment options.
