Merkel-cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare and highly aggressive skin cancer, which, in most cases, is caused by the Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV or MCV). Merkel cell carcinoma, also called neuroendocrine carcinoma of the skin or trabecular cancer, is a very rare type of skin cancer that forms when. Los hallazgos clínicos más característicos son el rápido crecimiento y la ausencia de dolor. Aunque el carcinoma de células de Merkel puede afectar cualquier.

Ann Surg Oncol ;8: Am J Surg ; They include MCV viral status, histological features, and immune status. The most frequent locations include: Inthe carcjnoma incidence rate was around 0. Radiotherapy as an adjunct in management of Merkel Cell carcinoma. Systemic involvement was not demonstrated before the first intervention or at the time of cervical metastatic recurrence in our patient.
Current and future therapy”. It has a pattern of lymphatic dissemination that favors the appearance of numerous satellite lesions. Because Merkel cells are a type of neuroendocrine cell, Merkel cell carcinoma MCC is also sometimes called neuroendocrine d of the skin.
The tumor arises from the Merkel cells, or skin pressure receptors. The incidence of MCC is increased in conditions with defective immune functions such as malignancy, HIV infection, and organ transplant patients, etc. Epidermal nevus Syndromes Epidermal nevus syndrome Schimmelpenning syndrome Nevus comedonicus syndrome Nevus comedonicus Inflammatory linear verrucous epidermal nevus Linear verrucous epidermal nevus Pigmented hairy epidermal nevus syndrome Systematized epidermal nevus Phakomatosis pigmentokeratotica.

What Is Merkel Cell Carcinoma?
National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines recommend PD-1 inhibitorscarconoma nivolumabpembrolizumab or avelumab, for patients with disseminated MCC;systemic therapy is not recommended for early stage MCC. MCC tends to grow quickly and can be hard to treat if it spreads beyond the skin. Sunlight exposure is thought to be one of the causes of Merkel cell carcinoma MCC. Trabecular carcinoma of the skin: Immunosuppression can profoundly increase the odds of developing MCC.
The virus is clonally integrated into the cancerous Merkel cells. Sentinel lymph node biopsy SLNB detects MCC spread in one third of patients whose tumors would have otherwise been clinically and radiologically understaged, and who may not have received treatment to the involved node bed.
Although MCC’s may arise almost anywhere on the body, about half originate on sun-exposed areas of the head and neck, one-third on the legs, and about one-sixth on the arms. D ICD – Annals of Surgical Oncology. Other factors of poor prognosis are: As of there had been hope that new targeted anticancer therapy for patients with distant and systemic MCC disease would be available in the near future, particularly to target the MCV either to prevent infection or to inhibit viral-induced carcinogenesis.

Radiotherapy at a dose of 60 Gy also has been used alone, obtaining adequate levels of local control, which supports the characterization of this tumor as radiosensitive. It is not certain whether surgical excision of the affected lymph nodes is carxinoma than radiation treatment alone.
