Merkel cell carcinoma: is this a true carcinoma?

Experimental dermatology - 1 Nov 2014

Jankowski Marek, Kopinski Piotr, Schwartz Robert, Czajkowski Rafal

Abstract excerpt

Recent years have brought an enhanced understanding of Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) biology, especially with regard to the Merkel cell polyoma virus as a causative agent. Differences between Merkel cell polyomavirus-positive and Merkel cell polyomavirus-negative MCC in morphology; gene expression, miRNA profiles and prognosis have been reported. Origin of MCC is controversial. Presence of neurosecretory granules...
