Radiobiological Implications of an Electronic Brachytherapy Technique for Intra-Operative Treatment of Uveal Melanoma with Vitreous Replacement

To test the radiobiological impact of hypofractionated uveal melanoma brachytherapy (BT), we calculated a hypo-fractionated equivalent dose (HFED) to the tumor that equates to 85 Gy of I125 low dose rate (LDR) BT for cases with and without vitreous replacement (VR). Corresponding organs-at-risk doses (OARs) were estimated.
