Abstract
Echographic follow-up examinations were performed in 72 patients in whom a choroidal melanoma was treated with (106Ru/106Rh) applicators. The observation period was between 6 and 15 months. Echographic measurement of tumor prominence and assessment of the degree of reflection proved to be important indicators for judging the success of beta radiation therapy. If the prominence diminishes and the degree of reflection increases after treatment, regression of the tumor may safely be assumed to have occurred. Apart from an increase in the prominence of the tumor, a constantly low or even falling level of reflection are signs of a less favorable prognosis.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
