    GlossaryMerkel cell carcinoma (MCC)

    rare, aggressive skin cancer originating from touch-sensing Merkel cells

    Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare and aggressive form of skin cancer that originates from Merkel cells, which are found at the base of the epidermis and are involved in the sense of touch. This type of cancer often appears as a fast-growing, painless nodule on sun-exposed areas of the skin, such as the face, neck, and arms. Early detection and treatment are crucial due to its high potential for metastasis.
