title: [Adjuvant radiotherapy during anti-VEGF in neovascular age-related macular degeneration].
abstract: Single adjuvant radiotherapy during anti-VEGF therapy could be in certain indications an alternative to the gold standard of sole intravitreal anti-VEGF drug injection in neovascular age-related macular degeneration. First clinical trials showed efficacy due to reduction of anti-VEGF injection numbers by 100 kV collimated beam radiotherapy. After consideration and performance of adjuvant radiotherapy, results of the course should be centrally registered in order to carry out further analysis.
