Executive summary
Published in the Green Journal, this study compared two cohorts of each 153 patients with uveal melanoma treated with fractionated stereotactic photon-RT (50 Gy in 5 fractions) and PBT (53 Gy in 4 fractions), and reported comparable outcomes from both treatment options. The 5-year local tumor control rates were 96.1% for fSRT and 96.1% for PBR. The enucleation rate is higher in patients treated with fSRT (12.4%) than in patients treated with PBR (5.9%).
