Purpose: To evaluate plaque radiotherapy for management of residual or recurrent iris melanoma after surgical resection.Design: Retrospective, nonrandomized interventional case series.Participants: We included 32 patients with residual or recurrent iris melanoma after surgical resection.Intervention: Custom designed iodine-125 plaque radiotherapy.Main Outcome Measures: Tumor control, recurrence, poor visual acuity, enucleation, metastasis, and radiation complications.Results: There were 32 eyes with residual (n = 12) or recurrent (n = 20) iris melanoma after surgical resection that were treated with iodine-125 plaque radiotherapy. The residual melanoma was evident clinically in 3 cases and histopathologically in 9; plaque radiotherapy was delivered at a mean interval of 2 months after resection. For the recurrent cases, the mean interval from initial tumor resection to detection of recurrence was 58 months, at which time plaque radiotherapy was applied. For all cases, the mean tumor basal diameter was 6 mm (range, 1-13) and thickness was 2 mm (range, 0.8-4.0) at the time of radiotherapy. Anterior chamber seeding was present in 26 (81%) eyes and glaucoma in 11 (34%) eyes. Visual acuity at presentation was good (20/20-20/50) in 27 (84%), intermediate (20/60-20/150) in 3 (9%), and poor (
