Abstract

A steady increase of incidence of skin melanoma and soft tissue sarcomas of the extremities currently continues to be observed. Taking into account the high probability of developing of locally disseminated forms of skin melanoma and soft tissue sarcomas of extremities, the need to use combined methods in their treatment is quite high. In the 21st century the possibility of a use of isolated regional chemoperfusion provides a high objective response of tumor to chemotherapy without their systemic impact and improves the quality of life through preservation of the limb. This review describes the currently used drugs, and the results of ongoing clinical research in the world, as well as the results of our own study.
