    Abstract:
    The frequency of haematogenously propagated hepatic metastases occurring from intra-ocular melanoma led us to treat 20 patients with adjuvant chemotherapy. 19 patients starting chemotherapy during the month following enucleation and one patient, a year after enucleation. With a median follow-up of 6 years, 17 patients (80%) are disease-free. Three patients developed hepatic metastases at 24, 24 and 30 months respectively. The résults suggest that adjuvant chemotherapy is effective in preventing metastases from intra-ocular melanoma.
