Résumé
Merkel cell carcinomas are rare, aggressive skin tumors with high metastatic potential and poor prognosis. Their treatment is classically based on surgery with adjuvant external radiotherapy for localized tumors or on immunotherapy or chemotherapy, sometimes associated with radiotherapy, for metastatic stages. Those tumors are highly radiosensitive due to their neuroendocrine and undifferentiated nature, but they usually fail to rapidly respond to treatment.
