    Author: Busse H, Müller RP, Kroll P.
    Journal: Ann Ophthalmol; 1983 Dec; 15(12):1146-9. PubMed ID: 6660694.
    Abstract:
    The results of 106Ru/Rh-irradiation in 42 eyes with choroidal melanomas from 1980 to 1983 are reviewed. Indication for this treatment is a tumor size of 1 to 6 mm prominence and maximum extension of 18 mm (12 diameter papillae). In 24 cases a total regression ("grey mouse") was found after an observation time of 12 to 36 months. In nine cases a second irradiation was performed, in four cases an additional photocoagulation. One patient with an advanced tumor (11 mm prominent, single eye) died one year after treatment.
