Abstract

An on-line clinical folder has been optimised in order to manage all the available data coming from eight years of choroidal melanoma treatment with proton beams. The system allows the ophthalmologist, in a very easy way, to record and update, in different display sessions, the required data coming from the usual eye specialised visit, the tumour determination and identification, all the radiotherapy treatment information and the clinical data derived from the post-treatment follow-up visits. The goal is a better patient cure coming from statistical data treatment. This field is of great interest in oncology because only with analytical correlation study among the irradiated dose to the tumour and the relevant parameters of the tumour itself, is possible to optimise the used treatment planning.
