Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to methods of treating malignant melanoma by irradiating sites to which melanoma cells have become locally advanced, surgically undesirable, or have metastasized. In various embodiments of the invention, patients are treated with radiation doses in amounts ranging from about 25 to 230 cGy, preferably about 100 cGy to about 200 cGy, at least twice a day. The treatment regimen can be performed in the absence of additional treatments for the metastatic melanoma (e.g., chemotherapy/targeted therapy/immunotherapy) or in combination with additional therapies for chemotherapy/targeted therapy/immunotherapy. Various additional embodiments relate to the administration of between 20 and 100 fractions of radiation, preferably between 20 and 56 fractions of radiation.
