1. A method of reducing melanoma tumor growth of a primary melanoma in a patient in need thereof, comprising suppressing tumor growth of the primary melanoma by administering by intratumorally and/or intravenously injecting a composition comprising a therapeutically effective amount of 64 Zn e (Asp) 2 in said patient; wherein from 0.1 mg/kg/day to 1 mg/kg/day of 64 Zn e (Asp) 2 is administered to the patient and wherein the 64 Zn e (Asp) 2 is at least 99% 64 Zn and the aspartate is at least 90% L-enantiomer.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the composition is an aqueous solution.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the composition is administered once a day.
