Plaque Brachytherapy is a type of radiation therapy. With brachytherapy, radioactive seeds are placed inside or close to the tumor. This means that the tumor gets a large amount of radiation, while nearby healthy tissue gets less radiation and is less likely to be damaged.
With ocular brachytherapy, a gold plaque (thin gold sheet) with radioactive seeds is placed on the surface of the eye during surgery. The gold protects other areas of the body from radiation from the seeds. The brachytherapy is treating the whole time the plaque is on the eye.
