Choroidal Melanoma with Ultrasound-Guided Episcleral Brachytherapy: Long-Term Results and Risk of Metastasis

Conclusion: Ultrasound-guided episcleral brachytherapy with 125-I seeds yielded excellent local control for choroidal melanoma, with low complication rates and 90% eye preservation. Given the association between tumour stage and liver metastases, which remain the main cause of death, stricter control should be employed for T3 –T4 tumours for the early detection and treatment of relapses.Ocul Oncol Pathol
