PurposeTo share our initial experience in the use of intralesional interferon alpha-2a at primary presentation in ocular surface tumours as a method of immunoreduction prior to definitive surgical management.MethodsCase series of patients referred to Sheffield Ocular Oncology Service with rapidly growing ocular surface tumours, treated with intralesional interferon alpha-2a at first presentation prior to definitive surgical management.ResultsAll three patients, two with conjunctival melanoma and one with ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) demonstrated immunoreduction of tumour without any adverse side effects.ConclusionsInterferon alpha-2a is effective in conjunctival melanoma and OSSN. Intralesional interferon at first presentation may be used for immunoreduction prior to definitive surgical management. This may improve surgical and long-term outcomes, improve patient experience, and help meet cancer treatment targets.
分享我们在眼部表面肿瘤初次就诊时使用病灶内干扰素 α-2a 的初步经验,作为在明确手术治疗前进行免疫还原的方法。
将转诊至谢菲尔德眼部肿瘤专科服务的患有快速生长的眼部表面肿瘤的患者进行病例系列研究,这些患者在接受明确手术治疗前,初次就诊时接受病灶内干扰素 α-2a 治疗。
所有 3 名患者(2 例结膜黑色素瘤和 1 例眼表面鳞状肿瘤)均表现出肿瘤免疫还原,且无任何不良反应。
干扰素 α-2a 对结膜黑色素瘤和眼表面鳞状肿瘤有效。初次就诊时的病灶内干扰素治疗可用于明确手术治疗前的免疫还原。这可能改善手术和长期结果,改善患者体验,并有助于达到癌症治疗目标。
