NCT ID NCT06887205
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 07, 2026 · Updated 23 times
Summary
This pilot study tests whether performing lymphatic reconstruction at the same time as lymph node removal surgery can prevent lymphedema (chronic swelling) in melanoma patients. Twenty adults undergoing lymph node removal for melanoma will receive the procedure and be monitored for safety and side effects. The goal is to see if this preventive approach works better than waiting to treat lymphedema after it develops.
