One hundred thirty-eight adults with advanced cancers were treated with Baker's Antifol. The complete response + partial response rate was only 10%. Best responses were obtained in 31 patients with lung adenocarcinoma (complete response + partial response, 13%), in 25 patients with colorectal carcinoma (partial response, 16%), and in 6 patients with renal cell carcinoma (partial response, 50%). Two partial responses occurred in 15 patients with squamous cancer. No significant responses were seen in 27 patients with other adenocarcinomas, 13 with sarcomas, 14 with melanomas, and 8 with miscellaneous tumors. The most frequent toxicities were dermatitis, stomatitis, gastrointestinal symptoms, and mild myelosuppression. The incidence of dermatitis was significantly decreased by shortening the schedule of Baker's Antifol administration from 5 to 3 days. Baker's Antifol has some degree of antitumor activity, and studies of combination of this agent with other effective chemotherapeutic agents are indicated.

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.
