[Complications of the irradiation therapy with beta applicators in malign melanomas (author's transl)].
Depending on prominence and localization of malign melanomas of the choroid, there are - besides enucleation - other clinical treatments possible. Irradiation therapy with beta applicators (106Ru/106Rh) gives also radiogenous complications. But contrarily to a treatment with cobalt-60 applicators, these complications are less important.
