Summary. Carcinoma of the skin from Merkel cells is characterized by an aggressive course and a high incidence of relapses and metastases. Due to the rare occurrence, diagnostic errors and inadequate treatment are often tolerated. Among the priority tasks are early diagnosis of Merkel’s carcinoma, correct prognostic evaluation and adequate individual treatment of patients.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
