Gamma knife for the treatment of choroidal breast cancer metastasis causing retinal detachment: A case report

This case demonstrates the potential of GKR as a noninvasive and effective modality for the simultaneous treatment of choroidal and intracranial metastases. In palliative settings, especially for patients with limited life expectancy, GKR can provide symptomatic relief and improved quality of life with minimal invasiveness, which is particularly valuable for younger patients facing advanced metastatic cancer. The importance of a multidisciplinary approach in the management of complex metastatic diseases is also highlighted. Future studies are warranted to fully define the role of GKR in choroidal metastasis and its long-term sequelae.

Abstract

This case demonstrates the potential of GKR as a noninvasive and effective modality for the simultaneous treatment of choroidal and intracranial metastases. In palliative settings, especially for patients with limited life expectancy, GKR can provide symptomatic relief and improved quality of life with minimal invasiveness, which is particularly valuable for younger patients facing advanced metastatic cancer. The importance of a multidisciplinary approach in the management of complex metastatic diseases is also highlighted. Future studies are warranted to fully define the role of GKR in choroidal metastasis and its long-term sequelae.
