Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of combining carboplatin and temozolomide in treating patients who have unresectable or metastatic melanoma.

Conditions

Melanoma (Skin)

Keywords

stage IV melanoma; recurrent melanoma

Interventions

carboplatin DRUG

temozolomide DRUG
