Gordon H. Newman, MD; Frederick H. Davidorf, MD; William H. Havener, MD; Torrence A. Makley, Jr., MD

Arch Ophthalmol. 1970;83(1):21-26.

Abstract
The conservative treatment of malignant melanoma was discussed. The treatment of malignant melanoma of the choroid with the use of irradiation has been reviewed. Our surgical technique and its use in five patients was presented. We are greatly encouraged by the early favorable results which we have obtained thus far in four of the five patients.
