简要总结

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as dacarbazine and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Complete metastasectomy may be an effective treatment for metastatic melanoma and may improve quality of life and help patients live longer and more comfortably. It is not yet known whether complete metastasectomy is more effective than chemotherapy in treating stage IV melanoma.

PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying dacarbazine and/or cisplatin to see how well they work compared to complete metastasectomy in treating patients with stage IV melanoma.

详细描述

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Compare overall survival in patients with stage IV melanoma treated with complete metastasectomy vs dacarbazine and/or cisplatin.

Secondary

  • Compare time to progression in patients treated with these regimens.
  • Determine the response rate in patients treated with dacarbazine and/or cisplatin.
  • Compare the morbidity and quality of life of patients treated with these regimens.
