- W2112103485 abstract "The management of choroidal melanomas depends on many factors, most importantly, tumor size and location. Small choroidal melanoma in the posterior fundus is amenable to treatment options such as enucleation, radiotherapy, laser photocoagulation, and transpupillary thermotherapy or a combination of these methods. Transpupillary thermotherapy is a technique of tumor heating by infrared radiation delivered through the pupil into the tumor. This method causes dramatic tumor necrosis in choroidal melanomas up to 4 mm in thickness. With properly selected small choroidal melanomas, tumor control is approximately 94%. The heat induces cellular damage at the site of treatment with few remote side effects; therefore, complications are generally limited to the site of treatment and include retinal vascular obstruction (23%), retinal traction (20%), retinal neovascularization (6%), and retinal hole with detachment (< 1%). Tumors located temporal to the foveola demonstrate a statistically higher risk for retinal traction than those located in other quadrants. Tumors near the optic disk demonstrate a higher incidence of retinal neovascularization due to heat-induced obstruction of a major retinal vascular arcade. Overall, vision preservation is satisfactory after thermotherapy for choroidal melanoma, with more than 50% of patients maintaining the same or better vision after treatment, depending primarily on tumor location. In summary, small choroidal melanomas can be controlled with transpupillary thermotherapy, especially those near the optic disk and foveola in areas that are otherwise difficult to irradiate. Longer follow-up is necessary to assess for local recurrence and the impact of treatment on life prognosis." @default.
