The Research
The EAGLE FM trial will provide the only available scientific evidence to support which extent of surgery is needed for patients with melanoma in their groin lymph nodes. The results of the trial will have large-scale implications for patients in terms of cancer recurrence, quality of life and the potential for health care cost savings, all of which will inform health policy not only in Australia but also around the world
