Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy such as temozolomide use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells Combining temozolomide with radiation therapy may make the tumor cells more sensitive to radiation therapy and kill more tumor cells

PURPOSE This phase II trial is studying how well giving temozolomide together with radiation therapy works in treating patients with stage IV malignant melanoma with measurable and unresectable cancer limited to the central nervous system
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Primary

Determine the response rate in patients with stage IV malignant melanoma with measurable and unresectable disease of the central nervous system treated with temozolomide and radiotherapy

Secondary

Determine the safety of this regimen in these patients
Determine the survival of patients treated with this regimen
Determine the effect of this regimen on performance status and mental status of these patients
Determine the response of extra-cranial disease in patients treated with this regimen

OUTLINE Patients receive concurrent chemoradiotherapy comprising whole brain radiotherapy daily on days 1-5 8-13 and 16-21 and oral temozolomide daily on days 1-5 Subsequent treatment with temozolomide repeats every 4 weeks for up to 8 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity

Patients are followed every 2 months

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 18-41 patients will be accrued for this study within 13-30 months
