Radiation after surgery for high-grade skin cancer
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at whether radiation therapy after surgery helps people with a high-grade type of skin cancer called squamous cell carcinoma. It may help doctors understand who benefits most from this additional treatment.

This trial compares two strategies after surgery for a type of skin cancer (cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma) that has a high chance of coming back. One strategy gives radiation therapy to the area, while the other just watches and checks for any signs of recurrence. The goal is to see if radiation can prevent the cancer from returning.
This trial studies a combination of Mohs surgery and a short course of radiation therapy for people with squamous cell skin cancer of the head and neck. The goal is to see if this approach is effective with fewer side effects.
This study uses a test to see if a type of skin cancer called high-risk cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma has spread to lymph nodes. The goal is to learn more about how to detect spread early, which could help guide treatment decisions.
This study follows patients newly diagnosed with cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (a type of skin cancer) who are beginning systemic treatment (medicine that affects the whole body). Researchers want to understand how these treatments work and track patient outcomes over time.
This study looks at whether giving a shorter course of radiation after surgery can help prevent skin cancer from coming back in people age 70 and older. It focuses on higher-risk skin cancers and checks how well the treatment works and what side effects occur.
This study looks at the role of radiation therapy in treating non-melanoma skin cancers (like basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma) on the head and neck. It may help doctors better understand how well this treatment works and who benefits most.
