METHOD FOR PREVENTING METASTASES AFTER HAVING SURGICALLY REMOVED INTRAOCULAR NEOPLASMS Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: medical engineering.

SUBSTANCE: method involves exposing an intraocular neoplasm after vitrectomy and retinotomy, smoothening retina with perfluororganic compound later substituted with silicon oil. After having removed the neoplasm, intravenous 10% Perfluorane emulsion transfusion is carried out at a rate of 60 drops per 1 min in the amount of 80-100 ml. Next to it, photosensitizer is intravenously drop-by-drop introduced into cubital vein of the same arm. Laser irradiation of blood is carried out with power of 20-50 mW through laser light guide set in advance into cubital vein of the other arm in 5-15 min after starting introducing Perfluorane. When applying 0.1-1% water solution of Khlorine as photosensitizer at a dose of 0.2-0.5 mg/kg, irradiation is carried out at wavelength of 630-633 nm during 10-45 min. The treatment is administered twice with 5 days long pause.

EFFECT: enhanced effectiveness of treatment; reduced risk of tumor cells dissemination and metastases formation.
