PURPOSE: In order to evaluate the response to radiation therapy and to analyze the patterns of failure, survival and complications, we performed a retrospective analysis of @entity1 with @entity706 . MATERIALS AND METHODS: From November 1991 to March 1999, 11 @entity1 were diagnosed as @entity706 at Asan Medical Center. Five @entity1 had bilateral involvements, and a total of 16 eyes received radiation therapy. Using 6 to 9 MeV electrons or 4 MV photon beams, all @entity1 were treated with a single anterior field to total doses ranging from 30 Gy to 45 Gy delivered in 10 to 25 fractions. The median follow up period was 57 Months. RESULTS: All @entity1 achieved a complete response with radiation therapy. Two of 16 eyes that were treated (12.5%) developed local recurrence after radiation therapy, however they were salvaged with 30 Gy of reirradiation. The five-year local control was 88.9%. One out of 11 @entity1 (9.9%) developed lung metastasis and received chest irradiation. At the last follow up, one had died of @entity55 and 10 @entity1 were alive without disease evidence. The five-year overall survival rate was 77.8% and 5-year disease free survival was 77.8%. @entity231 and @entity936 occurred in one @entity1 (9.9%) respectively. CONCLUSION: Radiation therapy is a very effective and safe treatment modality for @entity706 . The local control rate of radiotherapy was excellent and complications were acceptable. Radiation therapy is also an effective treatment modality for recurrent @entity706 . It generally requires more than three months to achieve complete response following radiation therapy, thus we recommend evaluating the response to radiation therapy at three months after completion of treatment.
