title: [Short Review of the History of Radiotherapy for Intraocular Tumours].
abstract: For many decades, radiotherapy with its different modalities has proved to be the gold standard in the treatment of benign and malignant intraocular tumours. The various complicated therapeutic developments in this field cover a period of over 100 years and the present year deserves special mention because of the 100th anniversary of the first mention of a successful brachytherapy for a uveal melanoma by R. Deutschmann in Hamburg in 1915.
