METHOD OF CHOROID MELANOME TREATMENT Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC A61F9/08 A61K31/7064 A61P27/02 A61P35/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to ophthalmology and is intended for choroid melanoma treatment. Method lies in combination of two mechanisms of tumor destruction and two methods of treatment. First, local influence on tumor surface with laser radiation with wavelength 810 nm, exposition 60 seconds, with power density from 400 to 1700 mW, light spot diametre from 600 to 5000 mcm is performed. Influence is performed until even white colour appears on tumor surface. 1-14 days after thermotherapy at the peak of hematoophtalmological barrier damage system chemical therapy is performed three days running. Aranose, introduced intravenously calculating 600-1000 mg/m² in 250 ml of 5% glucose solution, is used. In case of incomplete tumor regression sessions of chemical therapy are repeated thrice with 3 week interval. In case if complete tumor regression with formation of flat chorioretinal scar does not take place, course of treatment is repeated.

EFFECT: ensuring full tumor destruction to formation of flat chorioretinal scar, which leads to increase of choroid melanoma treatment efficiency and extends possibilities of organ-preserving treatment methods on the whole.
