[Autologous tumor-specific immunotherapy for recurrent malignant melanoma of the nasal cavity].

Malignant melanoma usually occurs in tissues containing large numbers of melanocytes, such as the skin, mucosa and eye, and is one of the most highly malignant tumors known. No satisfactory treatment results have ever been reported. We report here an effective course of immunotherapy consisting of the local injection and intra-venous administration of autologous tumor-cell-stimulated cytotoxic T lymphocytes in a patient with recurrent malignant melanoma.
