“…It is unlikely that our selected group of small (basal diameter less than or equal to 6 mm) tumors mainly consists of nevi or other benign lesions, because all tumors had a positive P-32 uptake of more than 40%. Our experience with the P-32 test has shown an accuracy rate of 95% [17]. Among the group of small tumors 26 eyes had to be enucleated.…”

“…Würde man diesen zweifelhaft grenzwertigen Befund als richtig negativ einstufen, würde sich die Spezifität in unserem Kollektiv auf 90% erhöhen. Über sehr gute Ergebnisse berichten auch Lommatzsch et al (11), Schmitt (14) und vor allem Shields et al (15) anhand von 244 transskleral (operativ) untersuchten Fällen (Sensitivität 98%, Spezifität 96%). Bei ausschließlich transskleraler Technik jedoch wird der 32 P-Augentest zu einer invasiven Methode und verliert damit zwangsläufig an Attraktivität, zumal die Ultraschallechographie auch bei trüben optischen Medien eine gute diagnostische Aussage besitzt (5,12).…”
