Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  GAMMA KNIFE  Patients of uveal melanoma will be subjected to gamma knife.A high resolution MRI will be done to provide orientation and localization of target.Treatment planning is done in relation to spherical points on the gamma knife planning system. 
Comparator Agent  RUTHENIUM PLAQUE BRACHYTHERAPY  Patients of uveal melanoma will be subjected to Ruthenium Plaque Brachytherapy.Ruthenium plaque is sutured at the required position and radiation dose is delivered according to the predefined dose as calculated by the plaque stimulator software.

Response - NO
Brief Summary   Uveal Melanoma is the most common primary malignant intraocular tumor in adults with 80%  of them originating in choroid.This study aims at evaluating the clinical outcomes of two globe salvage therapies that is Stereotactic Radiosurgery using Gamma Knife and Ruthenium Plaque Brachytherapy in the treatment  of Uveal Melanoma.The study design is a prospective interventional study with 20 patients - with 10 of them being subjected to Gamma Knife and 10 of them being subjected to Ruthenium Plaque Brachytherapy. The patients shall be subjected to one of the two treatment modalities and followed up for  a minimum period of 6 months. At each visit, patients will be assessed for all clinical parameters,and investigated through OCT and USG. MRI Orbit will be done at 6 months. Globe Salvage Rate, local tumor control, vision salvage rate , development of local complications, local recurrence of tumor and need for enucleation shall be evaluated.
