Abstract
To evaluate 18 months' results of a strict anti-vascular endothelial growth factor protocol for radiation maculopathy following proton therapy in choroidal melanoma.
Retrospective, comparative, nonrandomized study of 74 radiation maculopathy patients presenting macular lipid deposits, hemorrhages, microaneurysms, cystoid edema, nerve layer infarction, telangiectasia, or capillary nonperfusion. The study group included 52 consecutive patients injected with intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factors (bevacizumab/ranibizumab: 46/6) every two months for the first and every 3 months for the second year, with minimum 12 months' follow-up. The control group consisted of 22 patients having declined this treatment. Best-corrected visual acuity, spectral domain-optical coherence tomography and optical coherence tomography angiography were recorded at baseline, 6, 12, and 18 months. The foveal avascular zone and capillary density were measured at the superficial capillary plexus.
Radiation maculopathy was diagnosed at 2 years (1.5-3.5) after proton therapy. Best-corrected visual acuity at baseline, 12 and 18 months improved in the study group from 0.45, 0.3 to 0.2 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution, but decreased in the control group from 0.5, 0.9 to 1.0 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution respectively (P < 0.001 at 12 months). Simultaneously, foveal avascular zone enlargement was less in the study (from 0.377, 0.665 to 0.744 mm2) than control group (from 0.436, 1.463 to 2.638 mm2) (P = 0.05 at 12 months). CMT (280 and 276 µm) and capillary density (37% and 38%, at baseline, respectively) did not evolve significantly different.
Intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factors, every 2 months for the first and every 3 months for the second year, slow down, over up to 18 months, vision loss and anatomical degradation in radiation maculopathy following proton therapy for choroidal melanoma.
