Borges, Freddy - Mate, Miguel - D'Auria, Agustín - Priario, Julio

Resumen:

16 pathiens suffering from malign melanoma were subject to complementary treatment by B. C. G. In spite of the fact that the number of cases was insufficient and that response varied, the patients derived benefit from this therapy.Survival of patientes treated by intratumoral B. C. G. and of those who receivect B. C. G. by other routes, was the same.Inmunotherapy is as yet in an experimental stage and hence patients have to be carefully selected andcontrolled in specialized centres. Serious complications may derive from the application of this treatment and in this series they amounted to 3 cases.


16 pacientes portadores de melanoma maligno fueron sometidos a tratamiento con B.C.G. Aunque la serie es pequeña y las respuestas variables, los enfermos se beneficiaron de esta terapéutica.La sobrevida fue igual para aquellos tratados con B. C. G. intlratumoral que para los que recibieron B. C. G. por otras vías. Se señala que este procedimiento se encuentra en etapa experimental por lo cual los pacientes deben ser vigilados y controlados en centros especializados.Existieron complicaciones graves en 3 pacientes, de la serie sometidos a este tratamiento.
