A Randomized Trial to Assess the Role of Imaging During Follow Up After Radical Surgery of High Risk Melanoma

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.
