Medal lecture highlights evolution in radiotherapy treatments for ocular tumours
Radiotherapy has made major advances in recent years in offering a viable treatment modality to patients with ocular tumours that were once deemed inoperable, according to Leonidas Zografos who delivered this year's EURETINA MEDAL LECTURE as part of the official Opening Ceremony at the 13th EURETINA Congress.
In a broad overview of the past, present and future of radiotherapy treatments in ocular oncology, Prof Zografos, honorary professor of ophthalmology and consultant at the Jules-Gonin Eye Hospital Lausanne ,Switzerland, told delegates that technology had come a long way since the pioneering German ophthalmologist Richard Deutschmann's first successful treatment of uveal melanoma in 1915 with seven episcleral applications of filtered mesothorium.
