Search for: [Abstract = "The aim of my dissertation was to conduct the retrospective assessment of choroidal melanoma regression in patients treated with brachytherapy and the comparison of local, distant and functional results of the treatment with the application of Ru\-106 and I\-125 isotopes.376 patients aged 14 to 102, including 195 female and 181 male individuals, who suffered from choroidal and ciliary body melanoma were the subject of study. The patients were treated in the Clinical Unit of the Department of Ophthalmology and Ocular Oncology in the Jagiellonian University Hospital in Krakow between 1995 and 2005. Brachytherapy, a method allowing both conservative and organ\-sparing treatment of the eyeball tumour, was instituted in all the patients. Ruthenium brachytherapy was performed in 171 individuals and iodine brachytherapy was administered in 205 subjects.The ophthalmological examinations included\: assessing distant and near vision acuity, measuring intraocular pressure, examining the anterior part and the fundus of the eye, performing eyeball ultrasonography in A and B presentation and, in some cases, accessory tests.In clinical assessment of melanoma, the following parameters were taken into account\: tumour size, shape, pigmentation, location, and in case of enucleation, the histopathological type. Medium\-sized tumours were detected in 247 patients \(65.7%\), large tumours were found in 71"]
