A phase I trial of stereotactic external beam radiation for subfoveal choroidal neovascular membranes in age-related macular degeneration

Effective treatment for neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is currently limited. Radiation therapy, a therapeutic approach with known antiangiogenic properties, has been investigated as a modality to prevent severe visual loss in AMD. Most of the studies using external beam radiation...
