abstract: The current seek for alternative or supplemented therapy is a corner stone in controlled clinical trials and researches concerning malignant melanoma. The discovery of intracytoplasmatic estrogen receptors in the cells of malignant melanoma raised the hope for the use of sexual hormones to perform this therapeutic aspect.
