Abstract
Twenty-eight patients with advanced life-threatening metastatic malignant melanoma were treated with high dose (140-260 mgm-2) intravenous melphalan and autologous bone marrow. Cyclophosphamide "priming" 300 mgm-2 i.v. was given to 19 patients one week previously and this resulted in clinical but not histological evidence of amelioration of gastrointestinal toxicity. In 11 patients (43%) there was evidence of tumour response to treatment and in 2 patients complete remissions were observed. However in most patients, responses were short-lived and no patient lived longer than 17 months from start of treatment or 24 months from first recorded evidence of distant metastatic disease.Entities:
