Abstract

A preliminary analysis is presented of a clinical trial to determine whether adjuvant immunotherapy or chemotherapy can prolong the disease-free interval and survival of patients with poor prognosis Stage I malignant melanoma or Stage II melanoma. Postsurgical patients were randomized to receive either no further treatment, bacille Calmette Guerin (BCG); BCG plus neuraminidase-treated, allogeneic, tissue-cultured melanoma cells; or methyl-CCNU. No statistically significant improvement in disease-free interval or overall survival has been noted.
