Immune Response to Percutaneous Hepatic Perfusion With Melphalan for Ocular Melanoma Metastatic to the Liver
Trial Parameters
Brief Summary
This study seeks to better understand the liver's immune response to receiving chemotherapy agent melphalan through Percutaneous Hepatic Perfusion (PHP) for patients with Uveal Melanoma that has metastasized to the liver.
