Topical 0.02% Mitomycin C for management of primary corneal-conjunctival intraepithelial neoplasia as primary therapy: A long term follow up
Journal Title: International Archives of Integrated Medicine - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 8
Abstract
Background: The corneal-conjunctival intraepithelial neoplasia (CCIN) is an ocular surface neoplasia commonly found among populations exposed to strong UV light. Although surgical excision is mainstay treatment, topical Mitomycin-C (MMC) 0.02% has been tried as a sole therapeutic treatment of non- invasive Ocular Surface Squamous Neoplasia (OSSN). Aim: The aim of this study was to report the long term outcome of treatment of non invasive ocular surface squamous neoplasia with topical Mitomycin C (0.02%) as primary therapy. Materials and methods: Total six eyes of six patients with CCIN were treated with topical mitomycin C (0.02%) alone as a sole therapy. All patients received topical MMC (0.02%) four times daily as a cycle therapy of two week ON and two week OFF for 12 weeks. The patients were followed up to two years. Results: All patients showed total cure with no recurrence during 2 years follow up period. Ocular irritation and mild conjunctival hyperemia were observed in 4 eyes during treatment with MMC. There were no serious complications noted at the end of the follow-up period. Conclusion: We concluded that Topical Mitomycin C (0.02%) may be used as a sole therapeutic treatment of non invasive Ocular surface squamous neoplasia with close on going follow-up.
