Description
This volume presents a new approach to the role of radiation therapy in the management of ophthalmic cancer. The indications for ultrasonography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging studies are analyzed, and treatment techniques, together with their results, are described for each tumour. Particle beam and plaque irradiation are reviewed, and conservative and surgical management of radiation effects are detailed. However, great progress in understanding the effects of irradiation upon the tissues of the eye and orbit, new therapeutic equipment and new imaging techniques (CT, MRI) allow for careful treatment planning.
