A Randomized Trial to Assess the Role of Imaging During Follow Up After Radical Surgery of High Risk Melanoma
A Prospective Randomized Multicenter Trial to Assess the Role of Imaging During Follow Up After Radical Surgery of Stage IIb-c and III Cutaneous Malignant Melanoma
Uppsala University
1,300 participants
Jun 8, 2017
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
It is not known whether radiological assessments during follow up after surgery for high risk melanoma improve survival. Since radiological examinations are resource demanding, could inflict worry and cause irradiation exposure it is an important question to address. With the introduction of effective medical treatments for malignant melanoma patients, there is a tendency to introduce radiological assessments despite the lack of evidence.
