Article Synopsis
- Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare and aggressive skin cancer that tends to spread, and this study looks at the survival outcomes of Stage IV MCC patients based on where their metastases are located at diagnosis.
- The research involved 34 patients diagnosed with distant metastatic MCC between 2009 and 2023, analyzing their overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and response rates regarding metastasis sites, using statistical methods to determine significance.
- Key findings showed that bone metastases were linked to significantly shorter OS, while lymph node metastases correlated with lower MCC-specific death; however, the number and location of metastases did not affect overall treatment response.
Introduction melanoma patients who become stage III after a positive sentinel node biopsy (SNB) may have several patterns of recurrence patients and methods retrospective analysis of melanoma patients who have undergone SNB in a single institution from 2000 to 2015. Results There were 111 recurrences (45.1%) among 246 (20.

Therefore, extended resections are needed for adequate local control and negative margins. However, morbidity and mortality associated with these enlarged resections are limiting factors.
