Merkel cell carcinoma in East Yorkshire: A case series and literature review of current management

摘要

Introduction: Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare, aggressive neuroendocrine tumour of the skin. The incidence is rising and it is associated with sun exposure and immunosuppression. Our aim was to perform a 10-year retrospective review of MCC treated in East Yorkshire and to examine disease progression, surgical and adjuvant management, and outcomes.
