Summary

This study looked at using regular ultrasound scans to monitor lymph nodes in patients with high-risk skin cancer on the head or neck. The goal was to see if this approach could detect cancer spread earlier than standard care. Only one person enrolled before the study was stopped, so no firm conclusions can be drawn.
