Comment fonctionne la chimiothx?
Disruption of DNA synthesis at S phase (carboplatin, etoposide, 5-FU)
Inhibition of Mitosis at M phase (vincrisitine)
Mécanismes et types de radiothérapie
Mécanismes
- Direct damage of tumour DNA
- Indirect damage of DNA through ionization of H2O –> free radicals
Types :
- Teletherapy
- Brachytherapy

- Rarement : Cystic or Multicenteric
FdR : high solar exposure
Localisation :

Définition, indication et complications de l’orthovoltage X-Ray Radiotherapy
Orthovoltage : Type of radiation therapy
- X-rays used are strong enough to kill cancer cells but do not penetrate more than few mm beyond the surface of the skin
- Effective treatment for very superficial, small tumours (ex. skin cancer)
Indication : Malignant eyelid tumours ≤ 10 mm depth
Provides 95% tumour control
Complications :
- Loss of lashes
- Skin telangiectasia
- Dry eye/Epiphora
Most common ocular surface neoplasia
Epithelial tumors :
- Squamous Papilloma
- Conjunctival Intraepithelial Neoplasia (CIN)
- Squamous cell carcinoma
Melanocytic tumors :
- Nevus
- Melanosis (racial, PAM, subepithelial)
- Melanoma
Lymphoproliferative tumors
Vascular : lymphangioma, hemangioma
Others : pyogenic granuloma, dermoid…
Caractéristiques et Tx Conjunctival Intraepithelial Neoplasia (CIN)
Flat/Sessile mass
Translucent/gray/fleshy
Starts at the limbus → empiète sur la cornée
NO basement membrane invasion → NO metastasis
Tx :
- Surgical excision
- Interferon
- MMC (topical mitomycin C)
- 5-FU eyedrops
Caractéristique et Tx Squamous Cell Carcinoma
THE MOST common conjunctival malignancy
CIN → invades basement membrane
Arise de novo, at the limbus or fornix
Examine for local lymph nodes (if suspicious → MRI)
Tx :
- Excision + margin cryotherapy +/- PO local chemo
- If scleral invasion on UDM → Brachytherapy
