Summary

This study is for people with stage III melanoma that has spread to just one lymph node. The goal is to see if removing only that cancerous node (instead of many nodes) can prevent the cancer from coming back in the same area. Researchers will also track side effects like swelling and how the surgery affects daily life. About 66 adults will take part.
