Isolated regional perfusion in the treatment of malignant melanomas of the extremities. 1975

H Schraffordt Koops, and J Oldhoff, and E van der Ploeg, and A Vermey, and R Eibergen

The authors present a survey of changed views on the treatment of patients with malignant melanoma of the extremities. In addition to conventional therapy, regional perfusion is discussed. Over the period 1964-1970, 115 perfusions were performed in 75 patients. The perfusions were confined to patients with a tumor infiltrating beyond the stratum papillare. The 4-year survival of 30 patients with a primary tumor, without demonstrable metastases at the moment of perfusion, was found to be 77%. The percentage of local recurrences was significantly lower after perfusion than after conventional surgery.

D008545 Melanoma A malignant neoplasm derived from cells that are capable of forming melanin, which may occur in the skin of any part of the body, in the eye, or, rarely, in the mucous membranes of the genitalia, anus, oral cavity, or other sites. It occurs mostly in adults and may originate de novo or from a pigmented nevus or malignant lentigo. Melanomas frequently metastasize widely, and the regional lymph nodes, liver, lungs, and brain are likely to be involved. The incidence of malignant skin melanomas is rising rapidly in all parts of the world.
