Abstract

PURPOSE: Choroidal metastases occur in many patients with systemic cancer and limit quality of life due to visual deterioration or pain. The limited prognosis of these patients demand treatment approaches that aim at a quick response and easy application. We evaluated a robotic assisted radiosurgery device, the CyberKnife, in the treatment of choroidal metastasis.
