Study Summary
This is a 2-armed randomised controlled trial comparing surgery alone with surgery plus post-operative radiation therapy for patients with completely resected primary melanoma showing histological features of neurotropism. Uncontrolled studies suggest that this form of primary melanoma has a high risk of local recurrence and that postoperative radiation therapy may substantially reduce that risk. Patients who are eligible on the basis of the pathology of the excised melanoma will be offered the opportunity to take part in the trial. Those randomised to receive radiation therapy will be treated with a simple technique encompassing the surgical bed plus a margin. Radiation will commence within 3 months of surgery (maximum of 14 weeks from surgery to start of radiotherapy).
