Breakdown of the blood-eye barrier in choroidal melanoma after proton beam radiotherapy
2019
Purpose
Irradiation of choroidal melanoma is a safe and globe preserving procedure. Chronic inflammatory processes and ischemia are the main reasons for secondary enucleation in the long run. The aim of this study was to determine whether intraocular inflammation and especially inflammatory response after proton beam therapy (PBT) is related to primary tumor characteristics such as height, tumor volume, and initial flare values.
