[Isolated hyperthermic extremity perfusion with vindesine, dacarbazine and cisplatin in the treatment of malignant melanomas].

A three drug combination consisting of dacarbazine, vindesine and CDDP (DVP) was used for isolated extremity perfusion in 26 patients with stage I, II and III melanomas of the limbs. Dosages of 100 mg/l dacarbazine, 0.4 mg/l vindesine and 20 mg Cis-Platinum/l extremity volume have been tolerated without major side effects. All perfusions of bulky tumors or metastases resulted in more than 50% tumor-size reduction (8 patients stage III A, 6 patients stage III AB). In five stage III patients relapse occurred 2, 3, 5, 6 months after isolated DVP perfusion.
