| Summary: |
Radiotherapy (106Ru,
125I brachytherapy, protontherapy) is a
method of choice in treatment of many intraocular
malignancies including uveal melanoma, choroidal
haemangioma, choroidal metastasis. Unfortunately
radiotherapy leads to many complications: radiation
retinopathy, maculopathy, papillopathy, consecutive
glaucoma, or cataract. We discuss mechanisms, and
frequency of these complications, as well as we describe
some methods for prevention and treatment. |
