Effectiveness of Radiotherapy in Combination with Adjuvant Selective Intra- Arterial Chemotherapy in the Treatment of Malignant Neoplasms of the Orbit

Abstract

Malignant tumors of the orbit make 41-45.9% [4, 5] and they represent a threat to both the organ of vision and the patient’s life. Thus, according to a number of authors [5], malignant tumor recurrence of the orbit within 5 years was observed in 36 out of 56 observed patients, ie. the tumor recurrence was observed in 64.3% of patients, who died in the following years. As is evident from the above data, the results of treatment of malignant tumors of the orbit are not satisfactory. In the analyzed group of 56 patients with malignant tumors, the 5-year survival was only 36%.
