[Combination chemotherapy with cis-dichloro-diammineplatinum (II) and ifosfamide in malignant melanomas (author's transl)].

We report our results on 9 patients with disseminated malignant melanoma, treated with combination of DDP and IF, 3 in addition with VD. In none of them a complete remission was obtained, the median survival was 4.2 months. These disappointing results, in addition to the rather toxic side effects from the chemotherapy, do not present any benefit over less toxic regimens.
