Large Clinical Trials Won't Change Physics

This Podcast takes a closer look at what I do to maximize eye radiation outcomes and minimize patient risk. Until we have a treatment for metastatic ocular melanoma, destruction of the intraocular tumor will be the best way to prevent and thus "treat" metastasis.  Across the world, each eye cancer center has its own radiation methods to destroy choroidal melanomas. However, a closer look at the methods of plaque selection and implementation reveals significant differences. This Podcast discusses basic plaque design, construction, and dose calculations. I explain why certain methods/plaques are more likely to result in eye cancer control. This Podcast is targeted to help eye cancer specialists improve their results.
