A 21-year course of Merkel cell carcinoma with adjuvant Viscum album extract treatment: A case report.

CONCLUSION: The presented case shows long-time survival in a patient with MCC treated with surgery and VAE injections. The immune system plays a key role in tumorigenesis of MCC. VAE enhances several immune pathways and might therefore contribute to immunologic tumor control in MCC. The role of VAE in MCC should further be investigated. PMID: 29857880 [PubMed - in process]
