Official title

A Randomized Trial Evaluating the Use of Fibrin Tissue Adhesive Following Axillary Node Dissection in Patients With Melanoma

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

Primary Objective: * To determine whether the use of a fibrin sealant applied to axillary soft tissues following node dissection can result in earlier drain removal. Secondary Objectives: * To determine the postoperative morbidity rate using fibrin sealant following axillary node dissection. * To assess patient-valuation of outcome by performing a cost-benefit analysis using a willingness-to-pay model. * To determine if serum levels, lymphatic fluids level, or cutaneous expression of vascular endothelial growth factor-D (VEGF-D), vascular endothelial growth factor-C (VEGF-C) or their receptor, vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-3 (VEGFR-3) correlates with nodal tumor burden or development of lymphedema in patients with melanoma.
