Abstract:
23 "high risk" melanoma patients treated with BCG-AIT are compared with a non-randomized control group of 35 Stage II melanoma patients receiving other treatment. The results are discussed. It has been noted that patients with weak initial BCG reactions survived longer than patients with strongly positive first BCG reactions. This observation could be interesting for the choice of immunotherapy.
