Neovascular Glaucoma After Helium Ion Irradiation for Uveal Melanoma
TLDR
Neovascular glaucoma developed in 22 of 169 uveal melanoma patients treated with helium ion irradiation and occurred more commonly in larger tumors; the incidence was not affected by tumor location, presence of subretinal fluid, nor rate of tumor regression.About:

Isolation of a tumor factor responsible for angiogenesis
TL;DR: It is suggested that blockade of this factor (inhibition of angiogenesis) might arrest solid tumors at a tiny diameter of a few millimeters.

Planning proton therapy of the eye
Michael Goitein,Thomas S. Miller +1 more
TL;DR: A program for planning treatments of the eye with charged particle beams that includes the three-dimensional definition of the tumor volume and of normal structures, and the provision of arbitrary viewpoints including a "beam's eye" point of view.

Cobalt Plaque Therapy of Posterior Uveal Melanomas
TL;DR: Preliminary observations indicate that cobalt plaque radiotherapy induces tumor regression in 96% of cases, preserves useful vision in many cases and has fewer complications during the one- to five-year follow-up period than previously believed.
