“…This modality of treatment is often utilized in instances where plaque brachytherapy is deemed unsuitable because of large-sized or peripapillary or posteriorly located tumors. The long-term complications associated with SEBI are similar to those observed in CPT and plaque brachytherapy [95]. The choice of RT must optimize dose distribution, while minimizing treatment morbidity, as the radiation dose necessary to control uveal melanoma often exceeds the tolerance of orbital components [79].…”

“…This method is a useful primary treatment in a limited group of patients (i.e., small choroidal melanomas near the optic disc or fovea) owing to its precision; however, in most instances this method is best employed as a secondary treatment to plaque radiotherapy [94]. SEBI involves the delivery of a single or several doses of radiation to a well-circumscribed target volume, thus reducing the effects of radiation on the surrounding tissue [95]. This modality of treatment is often utilized in instances where plaque brachytherapy is deemed unsuitable because of large-sized or peripapillary or posteriorly located tumors.…”

“…Since moderate doses of RT did not completely suppress the growth of B16F10 melanomas, we used relatively high doses of radiation. Specifically, three fractions of 15 Gy, which were found to be very effective in patients with uveal melanoma, were administered 48 h after the inoculation of the cells (35).…”

“…Die ophthalmoonkologisch-strahlentherapeutische Arbeitsgruppe am AKH Wien hat bereits zahlreiche Arbeiten auf dem Gebiet der Photonentherapie mit län-gerer Beobachtungsdauer publiziert, nachdem sie bereits frühzeitig vom Gamma Knife auf die Photonentherapie umgestiegen war [40,41].…”
