Background and purpose To evaluate the outcome of malignant salivary gland tumours
treated with neutron therapy to assess the potential for other high linear energy transfer …

Background Although intra‐retinal tumor has long been staged presurgically according to
the Reese–Ellsworth (R–E) system, retinoblastoma differs from other pediatric neoplasms in …

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the results on malignant melanomas of the eyelid and palpebral
conjunctiva treated with iodine-125 (125I) brachytherapy with shielding of the eye. DESIGN …

Background This study explores the safety and efficacy of strontium 90 (Sr-90)
brachytherapy as the sole adjuvant therapy for carcinoma in situ (CIS) and squamous cell …

Aim To report and compare the outcomes of brachytherapy and endoresection in the
conservative treatment of medium sized choroidal melanoma. Methods A retrospective …

Purpose: Children with retinoblastoma that extends into or through the choroid, sclera, or
optic nerve are at risk of developing orbital disease, as well as metastases. Previously, these …

Purpose Brachytherapy is an acknowledged modality for treating head and neck cancers
and has moved from low-dose-rate (LDR) to high-dose-rate remote afterloading to reduce …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Malignant minor salivary gland tumours are usually small
and clinically indistinguishable from benign lesions. Surgery is the treatment of choice with …

Purpose: Brachytherapy is one method of irradiating the orbit after enucleation of an eye
with a malignant tumor that has a potential to recur. It consists of 6 trains of I-125 seeds …

Background and Purpose: By virtue of their high linear energy transfer (LET) characteristics
the biologic effectiveness of neutrons is less dependent on tissue oxygenation tension and …
