Abstract

A 73-year-old man, who was diagnosed as having advanced anorectal malignant melanoma (Stage IV), was treated with combination chemotherapy using dacarbazine, nimustine, cisplatin, and tamoxifen plus interferon-beta. After the first course of chemotherapy, rectal tumor was decreased in size with less anal pain and liver tumor was disappeared. Twenty-four months after the first treatment, the patient is survived. DAC-Tam IFN-beta therapy may improve the management of patients who have advanced MM of the anorectum.
