This study found that patients with resected melanoma are highly engaged in the decision to initiate systemic adjuvant therapy, with an overall high adherence rate to prescribed adjuvant treatment. Enhancing patients' view of their capability to adhere to treatments may further improve the adherence rate to melanoma adjuvant therapy.
