Abstract

Background: Episcleral plaque brachytherapy is a treatment method for ocular tumors that involves placing radionuclide sources directly on or around the tumor using an episcleral plaque. This technique offers the advantage of a highly focused radiation dose, minimizing exposure to critical eye structures. Various radionuclides such as I-125, Ru-106, and Pd-103 are used in ocular brachytherapy. The choice of radionuclides depends on several factors, such as tumor size, location, and desired dose rate.

Methods: A retrospective review of the literature from PubMed (1998-2024).

Results: Special emphasis is placed on indications for ocular brachytherapy and variations in treatment approaches for choroidal and retinal tumors. This article provides a comprehensive overview of ocular brachytherapy, focusing on its history, indications, technique, and complications. It also provides insight into new innovations in ocular brachytherapy.

Conclusion: This article highlights the indications for ocular brachytherapy in choroidal and retinal tumors and describes its complications. This review of the literature on synthesized variations in treatment approaches was conducted to identify the most commonly used management strategies.

背景：巩膜外斑块近距离放射治疗是一种治疗眼部肿瘤的方法，包括使用巩膜外斑块将放射性核素源直接放置在肿瘤上或肿瘤周围。这种技术的优点是辐射剂量高度集中，最大限度地减少了对眼部重要结构的照射。眼部近距离放射治疗使用了 I-125、Ru-106 和 Pd-103 等多种放射性核素。放射性核素的选择取决于多种因素，如肿瘤大小、位置和所需剂量率：方法：对PubMed（1998-2024年）上的文献进行回顾性研究：结果：特别强调了眼近距离放射治疗的适应症以及脉络膜和视网膜肿瘤治疗方法的变化。本文全面概述了眼近距离放射治疗，重点介绍了其历史、适应症、技术和并发症。结论：本文强调了眼近距离治疗脉络膜和视网膜肿瘤的适应症，并介绍了其并发症。本文对治疗方法综合变化的文献进行了综述，以确定最常用的管理策略。
