It is often combined with cisplatin, an cytotoxic agent, to treat certain types of cancers for the treatment of Hodgkin's lymphoma, and dacarbazine with temozolomide for the treatment of melanoma. There may be an increased risk of certain types of skin cancer (non-melanoma skin cancer) with the use of this medicine.
