First seen Nov 20, 2025 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 22 times
Summary
This study looked at whether melanoma cells that are dormant or can start new tumors are present in healthy tissue near the original tumor. Researchers followed 226 people with early-stage melanoma for 5 years to see if the presence of these cells was linked to survival or cancer return. The goal was to better understand how melanoma spreads and to improve prognosis.
