Original Source: Selective regional perfusion of the bilateral external carotid arteries with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin and melphalan to treat metastatic malignant melanoma of the scalp.
Summary We present the case of a 79-year-old patient with extensive metastatic malignant melanoma (MM) of the scalp. Cutaneous MM of the head and neck often presents a therapeutic challenge. Radical surgical procedures and conventional chemotherapy are often unfeasible and contraindicated because of the difficult anatomy, the extent of the tumour process, and systemic toxicity. In our patient, selective intra-arterial perfusion with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) and melphalan was performed after cat...
