Summary

This study looks at whether adding radiation therapy to standard immunotherapy can lower the chance of melanoma coming back in nearby lymph nodes. It involves 168 adults with high-risk melanoma that has spread to a sentinel lymph node. Participants will receive radiation to the lymph node area along with their planned immunotherapy, and researchers will track how many have a recurrence over time.
