Metastasized Melanoma. What's The Prongnosis?

Expand all Messages
Subject: metastasized melanoma. What's the prongnosis?
Date: 10/10/2007

My son, an otherwise healthy male, was diagnosed with stage IV metastasized cancer six months ago.  The only major organ it has entered is the liver.  He was treated with IL-2 with mixed results.  However the tumor in the liver shrank considerably and there was minimal growth in the adrenal gland.  He's very healthy, eats well,no weight loss and the drs. said his cancer is slow growing.  We are looking at additional clinical studies.

My questions are this:  What clinical study do you think would best fit him?  And what is his prognosis given the above information?  We live in greater Boston, MA.

Thanks, Mharris
