Titel	Introducing Ruthenium Brachytherapy in UZ Leuven
Abstract Nr.	3015

Doel	To introduce Ruthenium Brachytherapy at the UZ Leuven hospitals to improve the local treatment of uveal and conjunctival ocular tumors.
Methodes	Ruthenium brachytherapy has been used for 3 decades now in European ocular oncology centers, to treat small and middle sized melanomas. Building on these experiences, we introduce this state-of-the-art treatment with local recurrence of 5% and limited radiation retinopathy.
Resultaten	The implications for treatment of Ruthenium brachytherapy, with a longer hospital stay than Strontium brachytherapy, follow-up, and safety protocols will be discussed in the presentation.
Conclusie	Introducing Ruthenium brachytherapy in Belgium for the treatment of ocular tumors, expands the range of tumors that can be treated locally, with a minimum of complications.
Belangenverstrengeling	Nee
