• Research summary

  Spread of metastatic melanoma to the groin lymph nodes (LN) is a common event for patients with melanoma. This multi-centre, phase III, randomised controlled trial aims to determine optimum surgical management of patients with melanoma spread to their groin lymph nodes. Currently surgeons have polarized opinions whether to perform a limited or more extensive lymphadenectomy and there is no evidence. The results of this study aims to standardise care globally, could lead to better cancer outcomes, reduce surgical morbidity and reduce economic burden for the health system.
