Isolated Hepatic Perfusion with Melphalan in Uveal Melanoma Liver Metastases: Survival and Health-related Quality of Life Results

Survival and quality of life outcomes in patients with uveal melanoma liver metastases treated with isolated hepatic perfusion were evaluated in a Phase III randomized controlled trial.
