- Plaque radiotherapy is a targeted treatment for medium-sized ocular tumors like uveal melanoma, using customized plaques to deliver precise radiation while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue.
- The choice of radioisotope, such as Ruthenium-106 or Iodine-125, is based on factors like tumor characteristics and desired treatment duration, with high dose rate (HDR) options facilitating quicker treatment.
- Efficacy of Ruthenium-106 varies significantly, and outcomes can be influenced by tumor size, thickness, and location; however, plaque brachytherapy can offer similar survival rates to more invasive treatments like enucleation for suitable cases.
