Stage III melanoma. In phase II interferon treatment,  melanoma returned on left thigh. Treatment not effective?
Patient: I am a Stage III melanoma patient.  During Phase II of interferon treatments (self-injected 3 times a week treatment), my melanoma returned on my upper left thigh.  I am very discouraged by this news.  Is this revealing that the interferon treatments are not effective on me?  My oncologist told me that interferon does not work on everyone. Doctor: ya interferons not work on every patient.you may have go for change of chemotherapy.your disease need to be restaged  and investigated before proceeding to change of treatment.
