81 years, location: periphery Max. tumor height: 10.9 mm reflectivity: 36 % visual acuity: CF
81 years, follow up: 9 months Max. tumor height: 6.9 mm reflectivity: 62 % visual acuity: 20/70

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!
