✦ Synopsis

After excision of conjunctival melanomas the rate of recidivation is high. This may partly be due to local seeding of tumour cells in the excision wound, as we observed in one patient. We now use a sodiumhypochlorite solution (Dakin's solution) as tumour cell killing agent. Instead of diagnostic biopsy exfoliative cytology is performed; at surgery the tumour is not touched except for cauterisation with formaldehyde.

In a follow-up study of 45 conjunctival melanoma patients the recurrence rate after local excision was 80% but the mortality rate due to metastasis was low, only 2 out of 25 cases in which the recurrences could be controlled by repeated local excisions. In the 18 cases in which exenteration was requ

Female C57BL/6 mice were fed a defined, pelleted diet and given 10% w/v or 20% w/v ethanol in their drinking water. Natural killer (NK) cell cytolytic activity was compared between water-drinking and ethanol-consuming mice and in mice that were also treated with polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid (poly
