RATIONALE: Boron neutron capture therapy may selectively kill tumor cells without harming normal tissue.
PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of boron neutron capture therapy in treating patients who have melanoma.
OBJECTIVES:
OUTLINE: Patients are stratified according to tumor size (no greater than 15 cc vs greater than 15 cc).
Patients undergo boron neutron capture therapy.
Patients are followed for 3 years.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 36 patients will be accrued for this study within 3 years.
