Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so
they stop growing or die. Peripheral stem cell transplantation may allow doctors to give
higher doses of chemotherapy and kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of chemotherapy plus peripheral stem
cell transplantation in treating patients with metastatic melanoma.
