Merkel cell carcinoma: Overall survival after open biopsy versus wide local excision

Abstract: This study showed an improved overall survival in patients with MCC after wide local excision compared to open biopsy of the primary site at first diagnosis. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Head Neck 38: E1014-E1018, 2016.

“…Primary tumors without evidence of organ metastases shall be completely excised with adequate surgical margins. If MCC is clinically suspected, complete excision of the primary tumor is preferable to biopsy . Given the high rate of local recurrence and the importance of tumor‐free excision margins for overall survival, it is recommended that primary tumors be excised with surgical margins of 1 cm (AJCC stage I) or 2 cm (AJCC stage II) .…”

“…If MCC is clinically suspected, complete excision of the primary tumor is preferable to biopsy . Given the high rate of local recurrence and the importance of tumor‐free excision margins for overall survival, it is recommended that primary tumors be excised with surgical margins of 1 cm (AJCC stage I) or 2 cm (AJCC stage II) . Tumors in special sites (for example, the head and neck region) may be excised with smaller surgical margins if this is deemed necessary for functional reasons; in this setting, too, use of Mohs surgery is subject to critical debate, as this procedure might promote the occurrence of in‐transit metastases .…”

“…Bei Primärtumoren ohne Hinweise auf das Vorliegen von Organmetastasen soll eine vollständige chirurgische Exzision mit adäquatem Sicherheitsabstand durchgeführt werden. Besteht klinisch der Verdacht auf ein MCC, ist eine komplette Exzision des Primarius einer Biopsie vorzuziehen . Wegen der hohen Rate von Lokalrezidiven und der wichtigen Rolle tumorfreier Schnittränder für das Gesamtüberleben wird die Exzision des Primärtumors im Stadium I mit einem Sicherheitsabstand von 1 cm und im Stadium II mit 2 cm empfohlen .…”

“…Besteht klinisch der Verdacht auf ein MCC, ist eine komplette Exzision des Primarius einer Biopsie vorzuziehen . Wegen der hohen Rate von Lokalrezidiven und der wichtigen Rolle tumorfreier Schnittränder für das Gesamtüberleben wird die Exzision des Primärtumors im Stadium I mit einem Sicherheitsabstand von 1 cm und im Stadium II mit 2 cm empfohlen . In besonderen Lokalisationen, zum Beispiel bei Kopf‐Hals‐Tumoren, kann unter Beachtung funktioneller Ergebnisse eine Exzision mit geringerem Sicherheitsabstand erfolgen; auch in dieser Situation wird die Anwendung der Mohs Chirurgie kritisch gesehen, da dieses Vorgehen das Auftreten von In‐transit‐Metastasen begünstigen könnte .…”

“…De novo occurrence of parotid gland Merkel cell carcinoma was described infrequently . However, wide excision (≥2 cm) is associated with an increased overall survival (OS) and recurrence‐free interval (RFI) . Head and neck surgery, particularly parotid gland surgery, has to manage a balancing act between the preservation of functional structures (eg, facial nerve) and sufficient R status.…”
