Fifty patients with melanoma metastases in the skin (48 cases), subcutaneous cellular tissue, muscles, and lymph nodes were treated. The number of metastases varied from 1 to 30. Au/sup 198/ and CrP/sup 32/O/sub 4/ therapy (adminis tration into the tumor) was conducted either alone or in combination with telegammatherapy. The most effective doses in Au/sup 198/ and CrP/sup 32/O/ sub 4/ treatment were from 50,000 to 150,000 rad. Direct satisfactory effects were obtained in all of the patients. Metastasis was not accelerated. There were remissions noted in 6 patients, in whom it was technically impossible to create a homogeneous irradiation field. As a rule, during this treatment the general condition of the patients remained unaffected. Fourteen patients were observed for a period of over 2 years, and 33 were observed from 1 to 2 years.
