This phase II trial seeks to determine the role of nodal radiation therapy after sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) for patients with high risk sentinel lymph node positive melanoma who are planned for immunotherapy without completion lymph node dissection. Prior studies of patients with more advanced melanoma have shown nodal radiation therapy can decrease the risk of nodal recurrence but it is not known if this same benefit will be seen in patients with high risk sentinel lymph node positive disease who are planned for immunotherapy.

Performance status

ECOG 0–3(Limited self-care)

Prior therapy

Cannot have received: radiation therapy

Exception: to the nodal area planned for RT such that the prior RT field would be included in the current treatment field

Previous radiation therapy (RT) to the nodal area planned for RT such that the prior RT field would be included in the current treatment field. In other words, treatment on this trial would require re-irradiation of tissues

Cannot have received: complete lymph node dissection

Exception: of the nodal basin containing the positive SLN

Complete lymph node dissection (CLND) of the nodal basin containing the positive SLN
