Article Synopsis
- The study compared outcomes of high-dose (52.1 Gy) versus low-dose (41.5 Gy) gamma knife radiosurgery in patients with uveal melanoma.
- In the high-dose group, 26% experienced complete tumor regression, while only 12% did in the low-dose group; however, the low-dose group had a higher rate of partial regression at 81%.
- Importantly, the high-dose group had a significantly higher incidence of severe complications like neovascular glaucoma (48% vs. 9%), suggesting that lower doses may be effective with fewer side effects, though follow-up was shorter for that group.
