Speaking from MM experience, Stage III, there are no stand alone Chemo or Rad treatments that work. Immunology is having the best current results.

If you're Stage 3 or 4, check out Melanoma Home Page - National Cancer Institute

Dr. Steven Rosenberg heads the Immunology Dept (he's also Chief Surgeon @ NCI). His treatment with TIL cells has had great results. He is also treating lymphoma's with TILs.
