In 280 patients \(74.5%\) melanoma tumours were found to be dome\-shaped, in 80 subjects \(21.3%\) they were mushroom\-shaped, and in 8 individuals \(2.1%\) the shape was flat. Medium\-pigmented tumours were present in 237 patients \(63%\) while intensive and amelanotic melanomas were found in 52 \(13.8%\) and 72 \(19.1%\) patients, respectively.Tumour regression rate \(in mm\/year\) was determined for each patient on the basis of the alterations in tumour height. Further, each patient was assigned to one of the following treatment response models\: model I\: tumour height reduction of > 2 mm\/year, model II\: height reduction of 2 \- 0.5 mm\/year, model III\: height reduction of < 0.5 mm\/year.Statistical analysis revealed that the type\/model of treatment response depended on the type of the applied brachytherapy. II model \(53.8%\) prevailed in the group of patients treated with Ru\-106 isotope. In the group of patients treated with I\-125 brachytherapy most tumours \(81%\) showed quick response to the treatment \(model I\). The treatment response model was found to be dependent also on the tumour size, relapse and metastases occurrence, secondary enucleation and the histopathological type. Statistically, the type of the applied isotope was more significant than the tumour size as regards the treatment response rate.The assessment of the"]
