1 Cyberknife Radiosurgery for Uveal Melanoma Kirsten Eibl, Alexander Muacevic, Anselm Kampik Cyberknife Center Munich-Großhadern in cooperation with the University Hospital of the University Munich

2 Uveal Melonama 70% of all primary ocular malignancies Incidence: 6 7 / % white population caucasian race light skin color blond hair blue eyes 5-year survival rate: 80% with S / RT Singh AD Ophthalmology, 2004

3 Enucleation Radiotherapy/Radiosurgery Brachytherapy (Ru 106, I 125, Pd 103 ) Proton Gamma Knife Endo/Exoresection +/- CRT Problem: Large Tumors

4 Mortality Successful treatment of primary Metastases 3 years after initial diagnosis > 30 years possible 1 mortality due to systemic metastases after 5, 15, 35 years: 62%, 90%, 98% 2 Tumor specific mortality after 5 years 3,4 10% medium sized tumors (max. height mm) 31% - 35% large size tumors (max. height > 8 mm) 1 Chisholm JF. A long-term follow-up on malignant melanoma of the choroid based on the Terry and Johns series. Am J Ophthalmol 1953;36: Kujala E, Ma kitie T, Kivela T. Very long term prognosis of malignant uveal melanoma. Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci 2003;44: The Collaborative Ocular Melanoma Study Group. Initial mortality findings. COMS report no. 10.

24 81 years, location: periphery Max. tumor height: 10.9 mm reflectivity: 36 % visual acuity: CF

25 81 years, follow up: 9 months Max. tumor height: 6.9 mm reflectivity: 62 % visual acuity: 20/70

26 48 years, location: periphery Max. tumor height: 8.2 mm Reflectivity: 45 % visual acuity: 20/20

27 48 years, follow up: 26 months Max. tumor height: 3.0 mm Reflectivity: 75 % visual acuity: 20/20

28 Conclusion Cyberknife treatment for uveal melanomas CYN = excellent tool for ocular radiosurgery high local control rates eye enucleation can be avoided in most cases cost effective compared to proton irradiation complete outpatient treatment can be performed in ~ 2.5 h team approach with ophthalmologists, radiation oncologist, physicists of critical importance!
