Hypofractionated Stereotactic Linear Accelerator Radiotherapy of Uveal Melanoma

March 30, 2009 updated by: Medical University of Vienna

Safety and Efficacy of Hypofractionated Stereotactic Linear Accelerator Radiotherapy of Malignant Melanoma of the Uvea

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of hypofractionated stereotactic LINAC radiotherapy with 10 fractions at 6 Gy per fraction at the 80% isodose for the planning target volume (PTV) in patients with uveal melanoma. Patients will be followed-up for 10 years after radiotherapy regarding local tumor control, visual acuity, secondary complications and survival.
