dc.description.abstract | Background - To report rates of recurrence and complications of localized ocular surface squamous neoplasia treated with 5-fluorouracil or mitomycin C as adjunctive treatment to surgical excision. Design - Long-term follow up of two prospective, non-comparative interventional case series. Participants - One hundred fifty-three eyes with histologically confirmed localized, non-invasive ocular surface squamous neoplasia. 89 eyes were treated with adjuvant 5-fluorouracil and 64 eyes were treated with adjuvant mitomycin C. Methods - Following surgical excision±cryotherapy patients received topical 5-fluorouracil 1% four times daily for two weeks or topical mitomycin C 0.04% four times daily for two to three 1-week cycles. Main Outcome Measures - Ocular surface squamous neoplasia recurrence, complications of therapy and compliance. Results - Median follow up was 33.6 (range 12–84) months and 57.9 (range 12–160) months in 5-fluorouracil and mitomycin C groups, respectively. There was one recurrence in the 5-fluorouracil group and no recurrences in the mitomycin C group. Side-effects occurred in 69% of 5-fluorouracil patients and 41% of mitomycin C patients. Five patients (6%) required intervention for treatment-related side-effects in the 5-fluorouracil group versus 11 (17%) in the mitomycin C group. No vision-threatening complications were noted. Conclusions - Long-term recurrence of localised ocular surface squamous neoplasia is rare when topical 5-fluorouracil or mitomycin C are used as adjunctive treatment to surgical excision. While side-effects are common, the majority are transient and rarely limit compliance. | - |
