pubmed:abstractText |
Merkel cell carcinoma is a rare malignant neoplasm of the skin that most often arises in the head and neck region. Despite the innocuous appearance of the primary lesion, Merkel cell carcinoma often has an aggressive clinical course with frequent locoregional recurrences and distant metastases. We evaluated the association of the width of surgical margins and the use of postoperative radiation therapy with locoregional control and survival rates.
