Regional perfusion for recurrent malignant melanoma of the extremities. 1977

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

Seventeen patients with a local recurrence or intransit metastases of a malignant melanoma of the arm or leg were treated by normothermic regional perfusion with phenylalanine mustard. Seven of these patients had regional lymph node metastases as well. The follow-up period was with five to eight years or until the time of death. Two years after treatment, eleven of the seventeen patients were still alive. After a five year follow-up, six patients were still alive without demonstrable recurrence or metastases. Only three patients had a recurrence in an extremity; two of these three patients simultaneously showed general metastization.

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.
