简要总结

The aim of this study is to evaluate a new method of follow-up for patients with low and intermediate risk (stages IA-IIA) melanoma. The investigators will compare different tools for patient support and education combined with clinician supported skin self-examination (SSE) to the current standard-of-care. The hypothesis is that meta-cognitive strategies and clinician supported SSE can lower fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) and promote effective SSE on a regular basis without compromising the detection of new primary melanomas and/or metastases.

入选标准

  • •Ability to read and understand Danish language
  • •Willing and able to give written informed consent
  • •Surgical treatment of a clinical stage IA-IIA melanoma within 3 months of inclusion

排除标准

  • •Advanced melanoma, clinical stages IIB, IIC, III, or IV
  • •Patients with high risk of a new primary melanoma (dysplastic nevus syndrome, or family history of melanoma)
  • •History of melanoma skin cancer prior to the index diagnosis

研究组 & 干预措施

Intervention group

Experimental

Patients in the intervention arm will receive follow-up conducted by melanoma nurses, where the patients will get tools to cope with the melanoma diagnosis and structured training in skin self-examination

干预措施: The MelaCare intervention (Other)

Control group

No Intervention

Patients in the control arm will receive clinical follow-up according to the current standard of care for their clinical stage.

结局指标

主要结局

Fear of cancer recurrence

时间窗: The primary outcome will be evaluated at approx. 24 months follow-up

The primary outcome is the score of the validated 4-item Concerns About Recurrence Questionnaire (CARQ-4). A higher score indicates a higher level of FCR. A score of 12 or above is considered clinically relevant fear of cancer recurrence.

Fear of cancer recurrence

时间窗: The primary outcome will be evaluated at approx. 6-8 months after randomization.

The primary outcome is the score of the validated 4-item Concerns About Recurrence Questionnaire (CARQ-4). A higher score indicates a higher level of FCR. A score of 12 or above is considered clinically relevant fear of cancer recurrence.

Fear of cancer recurrence

时间窗: The primary outcome will be evaluated at approx. 12 months follow-up

The primary outcome is the score of the validated 4-item Concerns About Recurrence Questionnaire (CARQ-4). A higher score indicates a higher level of FCR. A score of 12 or above is considered clinically relevant fear of cancer recurrence.
