Poorly understood with regard to etiology, risk factors, and treatment, Merkel cell carcinoma is growing in incidence. Compared to other nonmelanoma skin cancers, Merkel cell is aggressive and frequently deadly. Yet the dissemination of information about this tumor remains inadequate even among specialists. The purpose of this volume is to provide an accessible introduction to the clinical management of Merkel cell carcinoma for the interested specialist in dermatology, oncology, surgical oncology, plastic surgery, and allied disciplines.
