Patients with in-transit melanoma metastases have comparable survival outcomes following isolated limb infusion or intralesional PV-10-A propensity score matched, single center study.

Background And Objective: Isolated limb infusion (ILI) and intralesional PV-10 are well described locoregional therapies for in-transit melanoma. The objective of this study was to assess the effect of these treatments on survival outcomes within a cohort matched for key characteristics.

Methods: Patients were treated using ILI or intralesional PV-10 at a single institution and the data prospectively recorded.
