Does zone-specific remodeling of tumor blood vessels affect tumor growth?
The results indicate a zone-specific remodeling of tumor blood vessels by stabilization of vessels in TIZ and TCZ, whereas small vessels of these zones obviously undergo regression leading to tumor necrosis. Thus, a better understanding of vascular remodeling and stabilization in tumors would enable new strategies in tumor therapy and imaging.
PPV with SOI proved highly effective in GT. Proliferative vitreoretinopathy was the main cause of surgical failure and a frequent obstacle to silicone oil removal. The risks of redetachment have to be evaluated especially carefully when dealing with the only eye.
