Our Merkel cell carcinoma patient handout was updated on December 29, 2016, and can be found here. This handout is a culmination of the latest information in the background and treatment of Merkel cell carcinoma from scientific literature and the Nghiem Lab’s research. The handout is meant to provide a brief overview of important MCC related topics for patients, physicians, and others looking to learn more about the basics of MCC.
The updated patient handout can also be found on the Physician Resources page (under “Overviews of MCC for Patients”) as well as the Patient Resources page.
