Merkel Cell Carcinoma (MCC)

Merkel Cell Carcinoma (MCC) is a rare and aggressive type of skin cancer that affects the Merkel cells found in the skin. It often appears as a small, painless, flesh-colored or bluish-red nodule or bump, and it can grow quickly.

Surgery is often the primary treatment option for MCC. The goal of surgery is to remove the cancerous tissue while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible. The surgical approach may vary depending on the size and location of the cancer, as well as the patient's individual needs and goals.

Reconstructive surgery may be necessary to repair the skin and surrounding tissues after the cancer has been removed. This surgery may involve skin grafts or flaps to restore the appearance and function of the affected area.
