[Metastases of carcinoma of the breast to the choroid in the female (author's transl)].

Combined hormonal and cytostatic treatment was undertaken in eight women with choroid metastases from a breast carcinoma, in all cases only part of a more generalised - in most cases visceral - metastasization. If there are additional metastases those to the choroid do not require primary radiotherapy, as the treatment resulted with the remission in six of eight of the patients (mean duration of 12 months) and a rise in visual acuity in five of the six indicated. If remission is not achieved with combined hormonal and cytostatic treatment, radiotherapy to the choroid metastases in combination with polychemotherapy can be undertaken as second best.
