Introduction • Commonest ocular surface tumor in Asia • Excision + cryotherapy : Recurrence rate <5% • Factors affecting recurrence • Residual tumor • Aggressive HPE variant • Systemic factors (HIV, Xeroderma Pigmentosa) • Episcleral radiation : Plaque Brachytherapy • Promising Results • Organ and function salvage
Study Method • Prospective interventional case series • January 2004- December2009 Study Aim • To evaluate Ru-106 plaque brachytherapy in the management of OSSN
Demographics & Treatment Details • Total patients: 21 • Males: 12 • Mean Age: 49.28 • (range, 33-71)yrs • Indications for Episcleral Plaque: • Residual (Excision base + on HPE) • Recurrent Ru-106 Round Plaque for all patients Minimum follow up: 1 year Maximum follow up: 6 years
Episcleral fixity & UBM • On clinical examination episcleral fixity was noted in 10(47.6%) patients • On UBM, suspicious scleral involvement was seen in 5 patients
Results • Complications : • Scleral necrosis -1 • Corneal epithelial defect – 1 • Recurrence Management : • Enucleation • Exenteration 19.1% PRE HPE POST
Conclusions • Ru-106 plaque brachytherapy is a safe & effective option in the management of residual or recurrent OSSN with scleral infiltration • It provides for good tumor control, & eye & vision salvage
