[Treatment of various malignant melanomas of the choroid using a combination of ruthenium 106 and cobalt 60].

The association 106Ru/106Rh and 60Co was used to treat choroidal malignant melanomas with a height of 7 mm above the scleral surface (4 cases) and tumors unsuccessfully treated with a first 60Co plaque therapy (3 cases). The association of both radionuclides allowed a dose of 85 Gy at the apex of the tumor and of 700 Gy at least on the base in every case. All the patients were alive without evidence of metastases with a minimum follow up of one year and the tumor regression was constant and sometimes spectacular.

[Intratumoral blood pools and prognosis of malignant uveal melanoma treated with enucleation].

In a retrospective study about 59 globes enucleated because of a malignant melanoma, the presence of intratumoral blood lakes was recognized 18 times (30.5%). The construction of survival curves demonstrated this indicator to be statistically significant towards the prognosis. The other significant parameters were the cell type, the mitotic activity, the state of the sclera and the tumor volume. The relationships between these different factors were studied.
