About this study

It is not known whether radiological assessments during follow up after surgery for high risk melanoma improve survival. Since radiological examinations are resource demanding, could inflict worry and cause irradiation exposure it is an important question to address. With the introduction of effective medical treatments for malignant melanoma patients, there is a tendency to introduce radiological assessments despite the lack of evidence.
