Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare skin cancer, accounting for less than 1% of all cutaneous malignancies. It is found predominantly in white populations and risk factors include advanced age, ultraviolet exposure, male sex, immunosuppression, such as

Simple Summary By studying the cancer-inducing ability of polyomaviruses, several milestones in cancer research crucially contributing to our current understanding of, e.g., the tumor suppressor proteins p53 and RB1 have been achieved. However, only with

S2k Guideline – Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC, neuroendocrine carcinoma of the skin) – Update 2022
Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC, ICD‐O M8247/3) is a rare, malignant, primary skin tumor with epithelial and neuroendocrine differentiation. The tumor cells share many morphologic, immunohistochemical, and ultrastructural features with cutaneous Merkel cells.

From Merkel Cell Polyomavirus Infection to Merkel Cell Carcinoma Oncogenesis
Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) infection causes near-ubiquitous, asymptomatic infection in the skin, but occasionally leads to an aggressive skin cancer called Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC).

Epigenetic Dysregulations in Merkel Cell Polyomavirus-Driven Merkel Cell Carcinoma
Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) is a small DNA virus with oncogenic potential. MCPyV is the causative agent of Merkel Cell Carcinoma (MCC), a rare but aggressive tumor of the skin.

Merkel Cell Carcinoma: New Trends
Simple Summary In this review, we discuss a rare skin cancer that occurs mostly in elderly people called “Merkel cell carcinoma” (MCC). The incidence is increasing due to ageing of the population, increased sun exposure, and the use of medication that ...

While virus-negative Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is characterized by high frequency of UV-induced mutations, expression of two viral oncoproteins is regarded as key mechanism driving Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV)-positive MCC. The cells in which these

Neoadjuvant Nivolumab for Patients With Resectable Merkel Cell Carcinoma in the CheckMate 358 Trial.
PURPOSE Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare, aggressive skin cancer commonly driven by the Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV). The programmed death-1 (PD-1)/programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) immunosuppressive pathway is often upregulated in MCC, and ...
