Transpupillary thermotherapy has recently emerged as a therapeutic option for patients with numerous posterior segment disorders. During the past decade, it has been used for the management of benign and malignant tumors, either as sole therapy or in combination with other treatments such a plaque radiotherapy. More recently, it has been used for management of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) secondary to age-related macular degeneration. A prospective, randomized, sham-controlled multicenter clinical trial (TTT4CNV) is currently underway to evaluate the effectiveness of TTT for the management of CNV.
经瞳孔温热疗法最近已成为众多后段疾病患者的一种治疗选择。在过去十年中，它已被用于良性和恶性肿瘤的治疗，既可以作为单一疗法，也可以与其他治疗方法如斑块放射治疗联合使用。最近，它已被用于治疗年龄相关性黄斑变性继发的脉络膜新生血管（CNV）。一项前瞻性、随机、假对照多中心临床试验（TTT4CNV）目前正在进行，以评估经瞳孔温热疗法治疗CNV的有效性。
