Dr. Steven Rosenberg, Chief of Surgery at National Cancer Institute, is requesting patients:

The Surgery Branch, National Cancer Institute is seeking the referral of patients with melanoma for the evaluation of new immunotherapy programs utilizing immunization with newly isolated cancer associated antigens or cell transfer immunotherapies.

We are interested in seeing patients with:
(1) metastatic melanoma; or
(2) positive lymph nodes at high risk for recurrence

Patients should have good performance status.  Patients with central nervous system metastases or a history of ischemic heart disease are ineligible.

All care for these patients will be provided at no cost to the patient at the Clinical Center, National Institutes of Health.

Every effort will be made to keep you fully informed of the results of the treatment and to promptly return the patient to your care for joint follow-up and collaboration with the National Cancer Institute.
