Needle vs knife: new skin cancer treatment could avoid surgery

NCT ID NCT06585410

Summary

This study is testing whether injecting an immune-boosting drug directly into an early-stage skin cancer tumor works as well as surgery to remove it. Researchers will compare the drug, cemiplimab, to standard surgical removal in about 369 people with small skin cancers. The main goal is to see if the injection can control the cancer without needing an operation, potentially offering a less invasive treatment option.
