Summary
This study looks at whether using genetic markers from a child's skin tumor can help doctors decide how much surgery is needed. About 51 children and young adults up to age 25 with localized melanoma or similar growths will have their tumor tissue reviewed centrally. Based on risk level, they may get no surgery, a small skin removal, or a wider removal with lymph node check. The goal is to avoid overtreatment while catching dangerous cases early.
