[Choroidal metastases of lung neoplasm treated with external radiotherapy and polychemotherapy: a study of four clinical cases]. / Métastases choroïdiennes de néoplasme bronchopulmonaire traitées par radiothérapie externe et cures de polychimiothérapie : étude de quatre cas cliniques.

ABSTRACT

AIM: To report the efficacy of external local radiotherapy in the treatment of choroidal metastases. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The study reports four cases of patients with choroidal metastases of lung neoplasm confirmed by the bronchial biopsy. Polychemotherapy was associated with external radiotherapy of the ocular metastases. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: The external radiotherapy dose of 30 Gy to the posterior segment of the eye in 10 fractions was effective and seemed to be the most appropriate management of choroidal metastasis despite the use of the newest molecules in chemotherapy.
