Abstract
Con el objetivo de evaluar los resultados a largo plazo de la braquiterapia con implante epiescleral de iridio 192 en el melanoma de coroides, se realizó un estudio clínico retrospectivo-prospectivo, que abarcó un período de 10 años, cuyo universo estuvo constituido por 30 ojos de 30 pacientes (cada uno de ellos aportó un ojo). Como resultado se observó una reducción del volumen tumoral en el 96,6 % de los casos. Conservó o mejoró la visión en 63,3 % de los casos. El desprendimiento de retina y el glaucoma neovascular fueron las complicaciones más frecuentes. Se detectó metástasis en 3,3 % de los casos, relacionados con el tumor, pero no se detectaron fallecimientos. Solo 13,3 % requirió enucleación por recaída. Por lo cual se pudo concluir que la braquiterapia con iridio 192 constituye una variante terapéutica y eficaz, con buenos resultados de supervivencia (100 %), de conservación del globo ocular y de la agudeza visual, que ofrece al paciente mejor calidad de vida
With the objective of assessing the long-term results of episcleral iridium-192 implant brachytherapy for choroidal melanoma, a prospective/retrospective clinical study was performed, which covered 30 eyes for a period of 10 years. As a consequence, a reduction of the tumor volume was observed in 95,6 % of cases, Vision was preserved or improved in 63,3 % of treated eyes. Retinal detachment and neovascular glaucoma were the most frequent complications. Metastasis was detected in 3,3 % but no one died. Only 13,3 % required enucleation due to a relapse. It was concluded that iridium-102 brachytherapy constitutes an efficient therapeutic variant, with good results in survival (100%), and eye ball and visual acuity preservation, which provides the patient with better quality of life
