Analysis of local recurrence causes in uveal melanoma patients treated with 125I brachytherapy - a single institution study.

Conclusions: Treatment of uveal melanomas with 125I applicators allows for a high rate of positive local results. Nonetheless, the recurrence probability always exists. The involvement of the ciliary body could influence this. The survival depending on the time of relapse could be statistically significant for application time and dark-brown tumour pigmentation.
