Summary: A female patient was treated in 1991 for a metastatic malignant melanoma. She was treated chemotherapeutically, with interferon, and surgically. After recurrence in 1993 the chemotherapy regime was changed and Ukrain therapy was administered between the chemotherapy series. Whereas in 1993 the patient suffered from multiple metastases in the lungs, the combined therapy with Ukrain induced a complete remission which has lasted more than one year to date.
