Summary

Mucosal melanoma is rare and associated with extremely poor prognosis.No effective treatment for advanced mucosal melanoma patients.Investigators conducted a randomized phase II study in patients with previously untreated metastatic mucosal melanoma to characterize the efficacy and safety of bevacizumab when combined with carboplatin plus paclitaxel.
