NCT06673095
This clinical trial compares the effect of a narrow surgical excision (removal) to a wide excision for the treatment of adults with invasive cutaneous melanoma. Currently the standard of care is to take wide margins (boarder of healthy tissue surrounding the melanoma) when removing melanoma. Narrow margin excision removes a smaller amount of healthy tissue when surgically removing the melanoma. Narrow margin excision may be effective in removing the melanoma while also reducing surgical complications and improving quality of life for adults with invasive cutaneous melanoma.
NCT00003641
RATIONALE: Interferon alfa may interfere with the growth of cancer cells. It is not yet known whether treatment with interferon alfa is more effective than observation alone for stage II or stage III melanoma that has been completely removed surgically. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying high dose interferon alfa to see how well it works compared to observation only in treating patients with stage II or stage III melanoma that has been completely removed by surgery.
