Abstract :
Purpoe
To ae whether laer-induced hyperthermia with proton irradiation of choroidal melanoma may decreae exudative retinal detachment more rapidly.
Deign
Cae control tudy.
Method
Patient treated with laer-induced hyperthermia and proton radiation; reult were compared with imilar patient treated with only proton.
Reult
All 11 patient treated with combined laer and proton therapy had reorption of ubretinal fluid with a mean duration of retinal detachment of 193 day compared with 263 day in the group treated with only proton therapy (P < .04). At 1 year, viual acuity wa imilar.
Concluion
Combined laer radiation more rapidly diipate exudative detachment than radiation alone.
