Merkel Cell Polyomavirus Is Frequently Detected in Korean Patients with Merkel Cell Carcinoma
BACKGROUND Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is an increasingly common neuroendocrine cancer of the skin. Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) is one of the causative agents of MCC. The prevalence of MCPyV in primary MCC and sun-exposed non-MCC tumors has been known to have different results depending on where it was investigated. OBJECTIVE This study assesses the prevalence of MCPyV from primary MCC a...
متن کاملMerkel cell polyomavirus status is not associated with clinical course of Merkel cell carcinoma.
The majority of Merkel cell carcinomas (MCCs) are associated with the recently identified Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCV). However, as it is still unclear to which extent the presence of MCV impacts tumor characteristics or clinical outcome, we correlated the MCV status of tumor lesions obtained from 174 MCC patients including 38 MCC patients from Australia and 138 MCC patients from Germany with...

متن کاملMerkel Cell Polyomavirus Strains in Patients with Merkel Cell Carcinoma
We investigated whether Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) patients in France carry Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) and then identified strain variations. All frozen MCC specimens and 45% of formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded specimens, but none of the non-MCC neuroendocrine carcinomas specimens, had MCPyV. Strains from France and the United States were similar.
متن کاملMerkel Cell Polyomavirus DNA in Persons without Merkel Cell Carcinoma
Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) DNA was detected in 88% of Merkel cell carcinomas in contrast to 16% of other skin tumors. MCPyV was also found in anogenital and oral samples (31%) and eyebrow hairs (50%) of HIV-positive men and in forehead swabs (62%) of healthy controls. MCPyV thus appears to be widespread.
