Regional perfusion with cis-platinum and dacarbazine. 1983

K Aigner, and P Hild, and K Henneking, and E Paul, and M Hundeiker

In 22 patients isolated extremity perfusion with cis-platinum for treatment of malignant melanoma was performed; 18 had local metastastic disease (M. D. Anderson stages II and III A, B, AB) and four were stage I. A further five patients were submitted to isolated DTIC perfusion. DTIC-perfused tumors showed regression rates of 30%-80%, followed by recurrences within 4 months. After cis-platinum perfusion stage-III AB cases tended to show tumor recurrence within 4 months, while to date stage-III A and stage-II cases have reached disease-free survival times of 17 and 20 months respectively. While in DTIC perfusion the tissue temperature may range between 40 degrees and 41 degrees C, in cis-platinum perfusions 40 degrees C should not be exceeded; otherwise neural damage will occur.

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.

D002945 Cisplatin An inorganic and water-soluble platinum complex. After undergoing hydrolysis, it reacts with DNA to produce both intra and interstrand crosslinks. These crosslinks appear to impair replication and transcription of DNA. The cytotoxicity of cisplatin correlates with cellular arrest in the G2 phase of the cell cycle.
