Abstract
Purpose. To analyze the effectiveness of Ru106 brachytherapy in the treatment of the vasoproliferative tumor (VPT) – a neoplasm of the retina with a pronounced vascular component. Material and methods. The observation group consisted of 17 patients (17 eyes), the average lesion height according to B-scan data was 3.34 mm. Results. After treatment, the average visual acuity was 0.2, in most cases there was a decrease in the height of the VPT focus, on average by 1.4 mm. Conclusion. Brachytherapy Ru106 has shown its effectiveness as a method of treating VPT. Key words: vasoproliferative retinal tumor, brachytherapy, retinal detachment, uveitis, epiretinal fibrosis
