MCC is an aggressive cancer, with a high mortality rate and limited therapeutic options in advanced stage. In localized stages, the recommendations remain surgical excision, with almost systematic additional treatment by radiotherapy to reduce the risk of recurrence; there is currently no approved recommendation for adjuvant immunotherapy at this stage.
