| Front | What is the difference between charged-particle radiation and brachytherapy in the treatment of uveal melanoma? |
|---|---|
| Back | ● Charged particle radiation delivers more homogenous dose of radiation to tumor as compared to brachytherapy ● Charged particle radiation delivers higher dose of energy to anterior segment leading to high incidence of NVG and vision loss ● Charged particle radiation is effective primary therapy for uveal melanomas (unlike conventional external beam radiation) |
