A 12-Year Study of Slotted Palladium-103 Plaque Radiation Therapy for Choroidal Melanoma: Near, Touching, or Surrounding the Optic Nerve

“…10 Over this period, we have learned to treat radiation retinopathy, maculopathy, and optic neuropathy more aggressively with intravitreal anti-VEGF therapy, resulting in preservation of visual acuity. 12,31,[35][36][37] Our local control rates in the 12-year study dropped to 98.1% as compared to 100% in the 5-year study. We found that perineural extension is a risk factor for plaque failure.…”

Intravitreal Aflibercept in Recalcitrant Radiation Maculopathy due to External Beam Radiotherapy for Nasopharyngeal Cancer: A First Case Report

“…Finally, the macular edema due to radiation retinopathy can be treated with intravitreal anti-VEGF injections. Bevacizumab and ranibizumab were used extensively in the past with reported efficacy [9, 10]. In our case report, this is the first time intravitreal aflibercept injections were used to treat macular edema due to radiation maculopathy.…”
