title: [Chemotherapy of malignant melanoma. Results of a controlled clinical trial comparing vincristine + dacarbazin (DTIC) with and without duborimycin (author's transl)].
abstract: Adding duborimycin to the association of vincristine + DTIC in the treatment of malignant melanoma produces therapeutic results interesting but not statistically significant and not counter-balancing the toxic side effects. This study confirms the lack of positive results of polychemotherapy in melanoma as compared to treatment by an efficacious single drug therapy (DTIC); it also emphasizes the necessity of randomized studies so that valuable comparisons may be done.
