Orbital lymphoma: is it necessary to treat the entire orbit?

Purpose: Conformal radiotherapy (RT) has been used for all patients with orbital lymphoma treated at our institution since 1997. We retrospectively reviewed the charts of 23 consecutive patients to test the hypothesis that partial orbit RT is effective and less toxic than whole orbit RT.

Methods And Materials: Twelve patients with limited lesions were treated to partial orbital volumes and 11 patients (1 with bilateral disease) with more extensive lesions received whole orbit RT.
