Melanoma survivors: could immunotherapy harm your heart years later?
NCT ID NCT06605833
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether melanoma patients who received immunotherapy might have heart problems years later. Researchers will invite 60 people who finished treatment 2 to 10+ years ago to undergo heart tests. The goal is to see if it's possible to study these long-term side effects, which could lead to better follow-up care.
