The study will also determine how well the drug is tolerated in different dosages and whether the drug affects sexual functioning in men. There is no cure for this type of cancer once it spreads outside the eye. Investigators are studying a new treatment to reduce tissue loss and help prevent the spread of cancer. A small radioactive plaque is sewn to the outside of the eye in the area of the tumor. After 3-5 days the plaque is removed.
Investigators compare the incidence of new tumors, length of survival, vision, and quality of life.
This trial studies two different surgical options for patients with primary open angle glaucoma for whom medication was not adequate to control the glaucoma. If this treatment fails, the groups switch treatments. If the second intervention fails, both groups receive trabeculectomy. The investigators compare vision after the two types of surgery, complications, and the need for additional treatments. Patient recruitment is complete.
