NCT ID NCT07531121
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study checks if a blood test can find tiny bits of tumor DNA in people with melanoma before their surgery. About 296 adults with suspected skin cancer will give a blood sample before the tumor is removed. The goal is to see if this test can help doctors better understand a person's risk and monitor the disease in the future.
