Merkel cell cancer, also known as Merkel cell carcinoma, is a rare and aggressive form of skin cancer that originates from Merkel cells, which are involved in touch sensation. It typically appears as a painless, firm, and rapidly growing nodule on sun-exposed skin, primarily affecting older adults and those with weakened immune systems. The cancer is often linked to the Merkel cell polyomavirus and excessive sun exposure. Due to its aggressive nature, it has a higher propensity for metastasis compared to other skin cancers.
What else can I help you with?
What skin cancer needs the quickest attention?
All of them should be attended to immediately. That is because what shows on the surface is probably not the extent of the cancer. Melanoma, and merkle cell cancers can become very invasive quickly.
Which cancer of the cells of the epithelium spreads quickly to other body systems?
Yes it is one of the fastest spreading types of cancers. Depending on where the primary cancer is dictates where its spread to. The only cancer that I know off hand that spreads faster is small cell lung cancer. Merkle cell also spreads far but is very radiosensitive. Squamous is too, but not so much and its quicker to spread. If its a squamous cell skin cancer just have it excised and if needed followed up with chemo and/or radiation, it doesnt metastasize as quickly as if it were inside an organ.
