Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: In order to be eligible to participate in this study, a subject must meet all the following criteria: - >18 years of age - Underwent external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) for sinusoidal tumors, nasopharyngeal tumor, orbital rhabdomyosarcoma, uveal melanoma or meningioma for >= 2 years - Signed informed consent
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: A potential subject who meets any of the following criteria will be excluded from participation in this study: - Any ocular disease / abnormality that prevents good quality imaging of the retina. - Any ocular disease / abnormality that presents asymmetrically (affecting one eye more than the other e.g., anisometropia) that could influence the outcome measurements and is not related to radiation. - Other medical conditions which enables patients to participate the study e.g. psychologically not able to participate or undergoing palliative treatment.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main study parameters/endpoints: - Determine retinopathy and optic neuropathy and translate this to ocular damage map - Develop irradiation dosimetry map of the eye / optic tract - Combine both maps to determine prediction model and NTCP | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - possible other side effects of the eye and/or optic tract caused by irradiation of malignancies arising in the brain, head and neck such as; dry eye, cataract , and scleral necrosis. - the impact on QoL of ocular complications caused by irradiation of the eye and/or optic tract - the influence of concurrent parameters such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, smoking (previous and history), alcohol intake, dyslipidemia, family history of cardiovascular disease, personal history of cardiovascular disease, cardiovascular risk estimation for the following 10-years (based on the Framingham Coronary Heart Disease Risk Score) on the development of radiation induced retinopathy and optic neuropathy | — |
