Demographic Characterization of Uveal Melanoma Population in Portugal
Geada, Sara; Neves, Emmanuel; Teixeira, Tânia; César Simões, Paulo; Fonseca, Cristina; Proença, RuiINTRODUCTION: Uveal melanoma (UM) is the most common intraocular tumor and although rare, remains a clinical challenge for ocular oncologists. Therapeutic options have evolved throughout the years, focusing in eye-conserving modalities. However, long-term survival remains unchanged. Advances in early diagnosis and treatment represent a step forward in improving patients’ outcomes and survival. The purpose of th...
Incidence and Predictors of Radiation Retinopathy after I125 Plaque Brachythera...
Neves, Emmanuel; Chaves, João; Fonseca, Cristina; Proença, RuiINTRODUCTION: Plaque brachytherapy is an established modality for the treatment of eligible choroidal melanomas. Radiation retinopathy (RR) is a known complication of brachy- therapy, responsible in part for the loss of vision after treatment. We aim to present the first report on the incidence and the predictors of radiation retinopathy after the treatment of choroidal mela- nomas in the Portuguese Ocular Onco...
Genomic Landscape and Natural History of Sector Retinitis Pigmentosa
Cortinhal, Telmo; Geada, Sara; Neves, Emmanuel; Carvalho, Ana Luísa; Saraiva, Jorge; Silva, Rufino; Murta, Joaquim; Marques, João PedroIntroduction: Sector retinitis pigmentosa (sRP) is a rare, atypical, and milder variant of rod-cone degeneration. Despite historically associated with RHO gene, the mutational spectrum of sRP is evolving with multiple causative genes recently implicated. This study aimed to characterize the genotypes, phenotypes, and natural history of a Portuguese cohort of sRP. Methods: Retrospective, observational study, c...
