To present our treatment protocol and evaluate the results of Gamma knife radiosurgery (GKR) in treating patients with uveal melanoma.
Seventy-eight consecutive patients with uveal melanoma underwent stereotactic radiosurgery (radiation dose 30-50 Gy) with a Leksell Gamma-Knife at the San Raffaele University Hospital, Milan, Italy between 1994 and 2006. The main outcome measures evaluated were: survival rate, local tumour control, eye retention rate, visual acuity and treatment-related complications.
Survival rate was 88.8% at 3 years and 81.9% at 5 years. Local tumour control was achieved in 91.0% of patients. The median tumour thickness reduction after treatment was 1.96 mm (p<0.0001) (-32.1%). The eye retention rate was 89.7%. A significant relative reduction of visual acuity was observed during follow-up. The most frequent treatment-related complications were: exudative retinopathy (33.3%), neovascular glaucoma (18.7%), radiogenic retinopathy (13.5%) and vitreous haemorrhages (10.4%).
GKR can be considered an alternative to enucleation for the treatment of choroidal melanomas.
介绍我们的治疗方案并评估伽玛刀放射外科治疗(GKR)葡萄膜黑色素瘤患者的结果。
1994年至2006年期间,意大利米兰圣拉斐尔大学医院对78例连续性葡萄膜黑色素瘤患者使用Leksell伽玛刀进行立体定向放射外科治疗(放射剂量30 - 50 Gy)。评估的主要结局指标包括:生存率、局部肿瘤控制、眼球保留率、视力和治疗相关并发症。
3年生存率为88.8%,5年生存率为81.9%。91.0%的患者实现了局部肿瘤控制。治疗后肿瘤厚度中位数减少1.96 mm(p<0.0001)(-32.1%)。眼球保留率为89.7%。随访期间观察到视力有显著相对下降。最常见的治疗相关并发症为:渗出性视网膜病变(33.3%)、新生血管性青光眼(18.7%)、放射性视网膜病变(13.5%)和玻璃体积血(10.4%)。
GKR可被视为脉络膜黑色素瘤治疗中眼球摘除术的一种替代方法。
