Malignant melanoma: sistemic chemotherapy
Melanoma maligno: quimioterapia sistémica
Resumen:
Systemic chemotherapy has shown to be of little usefulness in the treatment of malignant melanoma. Its use has been confined to cases of disseminateddisease. Many drugs have been tried, but objetive remissions have been scarce. The best drug until the present time has been DTIC or imidazole-carboxamide.In our hands it is given at a dosis of 200 mgm per square meter, five days in a row. Clinical investigations are being performed on prophylactic chemotherapy in patients with positive ly..!Ilph nodes. Prophylactic immunotherapy is also studied in the same type of patients. These investigations are sponsored by the W.H.0. Time is needed to appraise the results of these experiences.
A diferencia de la· quimioterapia regional, la quimioterapia sistémica tiene pocos resultados evidentesen el tratamiento del melanoma maligno. Se le reserva para los casos de melanoma diseminado. Se han utilizado múltiples drogas, pero escasos han sido los resultados objetivos. La droga que mejores remisiones ha determinado ha sido el DTIC o imidazolcarboxamida. La suministramos a la dosis de 200 mg/m2 intravenosadurante 5 días consecutivos. Se están realizando investigaciones clínicas sobre el uso de la quimioterapia profiláctica en pacientes con ganglios positivos, así como el uso de inmunoterapia en tales situaciones. Tales investigaciones, realizadas con el apoyo de la O.M.S., necesitan tiempo antes de coleccionar los datos que informen sobre su efectividad.
