Abstract

<sup>125</sup>I EPBT is an effective treatment for T4-staged PUM and achieves high rates of local control. Treatment failure appears to be more common among minimally elevated tumors. Other causes of ocular morbidity were associated with increasing tumor height, patient age, and baseline visual acuity.
