A Prospective Pilot Study of Surgical Radiation Shielding With Vitrectomy & Silicone Oil Tamponade for the Protection of Radiation-induced Ocular Injury in the Treatment of Choroidal Melanoma With Radioactive Iodine-125 Plaque Brachytherapy
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating 1000CsK Silicon Oil Tamponade for Choroidal Melanoma. Completed, enrolled 20 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
A prospective, experimental, case series of 20 patients, with choroidal melanoma, in which pars plana vitrectomy and Silicone oil as vitreous substitute will be used as intraocular shielding for attenuating the deleterious effects of radiation dose delivered to healthy ocular tissue during Iodine-125 plaque brachytherapy treatment and assess if the treatment can reduce the incidence and severity of radiation-induced adverse effects like radiation retinopathy and permanent loss of vision.
