Prognostic factors in advanced metastatic and recurrent melanoma treated with DTIC. 1987

M Pawlicki, and J Skołyszewski, and B Stryjewska, and H Nosek

Thirty-five patients with recurrent and 25 patients with metastatic malignant melanoma after previous radical locoregional surgery were treated with DTIC at the Institute of Oncology in Kraków between 1976 and 1981. Complete and partial remissions were observed in 19/60, i.e., in 31% of the patients. Our results show an advantage for patients with locoregional recurrence, soft-tissue and lung metastases, provided that the largest deposit is no larger than 5 cm in diameter. There is little chance of remission in patients with liver and bone metastases.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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.
