  • Title: Long-term results of cryotherapy on malignant epithelial tumors of the conjunctiva.
    Author: Peksayar G, Soytürk MK, Demiryont M.
    Journal: Am J Ophthalmol; 1989 Apr 15; 107(4):337-40. PubMed ID: 2929703.
    Abstract:
    We studied the results of combined treatment with excision and cryotherapy with the nitrous oxide probe in 22 eyes of 20 patients with intraepithelial tumors or squamous cell carcinomas of the conjunctiva. Patients were followed up for five to 12 years. Only two recurrences (9%) were seen, both of which occurred within the first two years. Over the long term, excision combined with cryotherapy decreased the recurrence rate of intraepithelial tumors and squamous cell carcinomas of the conjunctiva.
