Purpose Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a polyomavirus-associated skin cancer that frequently lethal and lacks established prognostic biomarkers. This study sought to identify biomarkers improve accuracy provide insight into MCC biology. Patients Methods Gene expression profiles of 35 tumors were clustered based on prognosis. The cluster genes overexpressed in good-prognosis was tested for biologic process enrichment. Relevant mRNA differences confirmed by quantitative polymerase chain...

Abstract BACKGROUND: Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is an aggressive cutaneous malignancy with a high risk of lymph node involvement. To the authors' knowledge, few data have been published to date regarding optimal regional therapy for node‐positive patients. This cohort study was performed analyze outcomes patients MCC treated irradiation as definitive compared completion lymphadenectomy (CLND). METHODS: Fifty involvement at presentation and adequate follow‐up were included in this analysis....

Multiple human epidemiologic studies link caffeinated (but not decaffeinated) beverage intake with significant decreases in several types of cancer, including highly prevalent UV-associated skin carcinomas. The mechanism by which caffeine protects against cancer is unknown. Ataxia telangiectasia and Rad3-related (ATR) a replication checkpoint kinase activated DNA stresses one targets caffeine. Suppression ATR, or its downstream target 1 (Chk1), selectively sensitizes DNA-damaged malignant...
