Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is an aggressive cutaneous neuroendocrine tumor. The purpose of this review is to provide a comprehensive description of the staging, workup, treatment, and follow-up of MCC.
Sentinel lymph node mapping and PET/CT are the cornerstones of staging of MCC. MCC is a radiosensitive tumor, and hence radiotherapy plays a major role in its management. Close follow-up with PET/CT helps in detecting recurrences of MCC.
默克尔细胞癌(MCC)是一种侵袭性皮肤神经内分泌肿瘤。本文旨在全面描述 MCC 的分期、检查、治疗和随访。
前哨淋巴结绘图和 PET/CT 是 MCC 分期的基石。MCC 对放射敏感,因此放疗在其治疗中起着重要作用。密切的 PET/CT 随访有助于检测 MCC 的复发。
