This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the publication of the first edition of Radiotherapy of Intraocular and Orbital Tumors in 1993 the treatment programs for cure have changed from the dominance of surgical resection to the utilization of radiation therapy with preservation of the eye intact and preservation of vision. In 2002 about 2,300 primary eye tumors will be diagnosed in the United states, 75% of which will be choroidal melanomas, 20% retinoblastomas, and the remainder a wide variety of tumors - malignant lymphoma, rhabdomyosarcomas, liposarcomas, meningiomas, malignant fibrous histiocytomas, etc. Even so, the majority of malignant tumors of the eye are metastatic, primarily from cancers of the lung or breast. The impact of newer imaging studies, including computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and ultrasound with and without contrast medium, have allowed for better tumor definition, more precise treatment techniques, and major improvement in local control, with preservation of the eye intact and excellent survival. The better histologic definition of the tumor has selected more appropriately the cases suitable for adjuvant chemotherapy particularly demonstrated by the combined integrated multimodal treatment of rhabdomyosarcoma without enucleation. Surgical techniques are now being reserved for biopsy and for treatment failures, a dramatic change in treatment approaches since 1993. The second edition by Sagerman and Alberti clearly demonstrates this major change in treatment. The volume explores the impact of diagnostic workup, the role of surgery, the role of external beam radiation therapy, the use of radioactive plaques, photocoagulation, cryotherapy, and other less major surgical procedures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PurposeRadiation plays an important role in the treatment of ophthalmic malignancies. Though many different radiation modalities (i.e. protons and brachytherapy) can be used to destroy ocular tumors, each varies in the irradiated volume. Therefore, we can expect a difference in the incidence and location of side effects as well as in functional outcomes. However, there are only strikingly few comparative studies or staging systems available to collect the incidence and impact of ophthalmic radiation.MethodsAfter plenary meetings during the Eye Cancer Working Days in Paris and Sydney, a prospective international survey was started. Ophthalmic and radiation related data fields were fashioned collecting both treatment and outcomes. Patient privacy and ethics protections were incorporated into an internet-based registry to prospectively track outcomes for patients after ophthalmic radiation therapy. These include brachytherapy as well as external beam radiotherapy with protons and photons. After an initial year-long enrollment period, patients will be followed for at least 3 additional years. Results Twenty-one centers from 6 continents agreed to join this prosepctive registry. They are currently obtaining local IRB and ethics approvals. Patient accrual has been launched on January 1, 2019.ConclusionsThis database will support the creation of a dedicated ophthalmic radiation side effects grading system, and accumulate evidence about risks associated with currently used ophthalmic radiation modalities. Such data may lead to preferred radiation practice patterns and staging systems in treatment of ocular tumors. We hope this study will lead to improved local control and less toxicity among ocular tumor patients.

Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive examination of uveal melanoma, a rare neoplasm that carries a very high mortality and whose natural history makes it fairly unique among adult tumors. Split into three sections, this book explores the basic science behind the disease and inherited genetic syndromes that predispose some patients, as well as the pathology and use of gene expression profiling to determine risk of recurrence. It also focuses on the management of the primary tumor in the eye, including surgical intervention and lesion imaging. Elucidating treatment options for metastatic disease, the book reviews chemotherapy agents and immunotherapy approaches, as well as liver-directed therapies, cellular therapies, and various treatments after primary treatment but before the development of metastases. Uveal Melanoma: Biology and Management is the most up-to-date and comprehensive text devoted solely to this disease and will be useful to medical oncologists, ophthalmologists, radiation therapists, interventional radiologists, pathologists, molecular biologists and immunology researchers, as well as trainees in those fields.
