Abstract
Summary: Four cases of incurable malignant melanoma treated with attenuated smallpox (B.P.) virus inoculation are reported. The findings suggest that occasionally a worthwhile remission of the disease can be achieved by this means provided the dose of virus used is large, the patient is not immune and there are no gross visceral metastases.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
