One shot before surgery guides Year-Long fight against skin cancer
NCT ID NCT04013854
Summary
This study is testing a personalized approach to prevent melanoma skin cancer from coming back after surgery. Patients first get one dose of a drug (nivolumab) before their operation. Based on how the tumor responds to that single dose, doctors then assign a specific year-long drug regimen after surgery to try to keep the cancer away. The goal is to see if tailoring treatment based on early response leads to better long-term control of the disease.
