Forty-four lymph node or skin metastases of malignant melanomas received definite radiotherapy. Twenty were locally controlled for 2 or more years. Local control rate increased with dose. TCD-50 was about 1800 ret. The effectiveness of radiotherapy was more dependent on overall treatment time than on fraction size or number of fractions. Radiotherapy is suggested to decrease the high rate of locoregional failure of surgery of nodular melanomas in the foot and face.
