Fakiha, M.; Letertre, P.; Vuillez, J. P. & Lebeau, J.
Abstract
We recently treated one patient presenting with a disseminated non-operable Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) by lanreotide (somatostatin analog), with a complete remission of the disease and a follow up of 17 months. We present in this paper a case report with a review of the utilization of somatostatin analogues in the treatment of MCC.
Keywords
