View clinical trials related to Stage IB Skin Melanoma.
Filter by:This clinical trial studies how well an interactive tailored website works in promoting sun protection and skin self-check behaviors in patients with stage 0-III melanoma. An internet-based program may help individuals to perform skin self-checks and engage in sun protection behaviors.
This pilot clinical trial studies intravital microscopy in identifying tumor vessels in patients with stage IB-IIIC melanoma undergoing sentinel lymph node biopsy. By examining sentinel lymph nodes through intravital microscopy before they are removed, doctors may learn specific information regarding how melanoma may spread to lymph nodes and other sites of the body.
This pilot clinical trial studies booster vaccination in preventing disease recurrence in previously vaccinated patients with melanoma that has been removed by surgery. Vaccines made from peptides may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells. Giving booster vaccinations may make a stronger immune response and prevent or delay the recurrence of cancer.
Melanoma's incidence is increasing worldwide. The efforts made in melanoma screening led to an earlier detection of the primary tumour and a better prognosis, but melanoma remains an aggressive cancer when it comes to its metastatic stage. Three recent retrospective studies compared groups of patients diagnosed with primary melanoma and treated with betablockers for another indication to patients who never received betablockers. In these three studies, the outcome of the disease is significantly better for people under betablocker treatment with a decreased rate of recurrence and a better 5 years survival rate. Here we want to investigate the efficacy and the tolerability of an adjuvant treatment with propranolol for patients suffering from a primary melanoma with a high risk of recurrence.
This pilot clinical trial studies intravital microscopy for identifying tumor vessels in patients with stage IA-IV melanoma that is being removed by surgery. New imaging procedures, such as intravital microscopy, may determine the extent of melanoma.
This pilot clinical trial studies recombinant interferon alfa-2b in treating patients with melanoma. Recombinant interferon alfa-2b may interfere with the growth of tumor cells and slow the growth of melanoma
