First seen Mar 28, 2026 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 6 times
Summary
This study tests whether removing less healthy tissue around a melanoma (narrow excision) works as well as the standard wider removal. About 1,000 adults with early-stage melanoma will be randomly assigned to one of the two surgeries. The goal is to see if the narrower approach reduces side effects and improves quality of life without increasing the chance of the cancer coming back.
