THE RADICAL TREATMENT OF ENLARGED LYMPH NODES IN MALIGNANT MELANOMA

T. F. SANDEMAN M.D., F.F.R.1

1 MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA

A study has been made of methods and results in the treatment of clinically significant lymph nodes in malignant melanoma. There was a cumulative 5 year survival of 27 per cent in the whole series including those patients who received no treatment. Surgery alone and radiotherapy alone as the first planned treatment policy resulted in the same figure. No untreated patient survived 5 years. Four of 10 patients in whom radiotherapy followed mainly local surgery survived and it is suggested that a trial should be made of preoperative radiotherapy in cases with apparently only regional spread.
