Zusammenfassung:To report successful ring-shaped iodine-125 plaque brachytherapy for conjunctival melanoma. Eye Physics (EP) plaque brachytherapy, designed with Plaque Simulator software, proved to be an effective treatment modality with some corneal irritation and no recurrence at 12-months post radiation. Management of conjunctival melanoma is complicated by the lack of gold standard adjuvant treatments. I-125 EP plaque brachytherapy represents a viable option for these malignancies. Specifically, ring-shaped plaque geometries allow for targeted radiotherapy.
