    Abstract:
    The paper is concerned with the results of experimental investigation of the effect of different microwave radiation ranges on some segments of the rabbit's eye and its clinical application to the treatment of malignant tumors of the lid and orbit. It has been shown that the effect of definite microwave radiation ranges on the rabbit's eye, while ensuring necessary conditions for local hyperthermia (43-45 degrees C), does not cause clinically visible changes in the refractive media and fundus of the eye during 3 months after irradiation. The results of effective combined therapy of advanced malignant tumors of the lid and orbit in 5 patients are presented. Our experience in using definite ranges of local microwave radiation for therapy of malignant eye tumors has shown the feasibility, prospects and relative safety of the method in cancer ophthalmology.
