NCT ID NCT07506447
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 68 people with a rare type of skin cancer called mucosal melanoma. Researchers used a special PET scan to see if certain imaging details could predict how long patients live or when their cancer might come back. The goal is to help doctors make better treatment choices for each patient.
