Background Merkel cell carcinoma is a rare malignancy of the skin. Integration of Merkel cell
polyomavirus (MCPyV) DNA to the tumor genome is frequent in these cancers. The clinical …

Purpose: Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is rare skin cancer that is often associated with
Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) infection. Polyomaviruses repress tumor suppressor …

Background: Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) is the likely causative agent of Merkel cell
carcinoma (MCC). However, the prevalence of MCPyV in non‐MCC population and its …

Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) is associated to Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC). We
studied 113 MCC tumoral skin lesions originating from 97 patients. MCPyV detection was …

Purpose A new human polyomavirus, Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCV), was identified in
2008 in tumor tissue of patients with Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC), a relatively rare human …

Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) is a recently discovered virus that is implicated in the
oncogenesis of Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC). The route of dissemination and the reservoir …

Simple Summary Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) is a widespread virus that is present on
human skin. Infection occurs early in life, and up to 90% of adults have antibodies against …

Background A novel polyomavirus, the Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV), has recently
been identified in Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC). Objectives To investigate the specificity of …

Abstract Most Merkel cell carcinomas (MCCs) contain Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV)
DNA, and the virus likely has a pivotal role in tumor pathogenesis. p53 and the KIT receptor …

The majority of Merkel cell carcinomas (MCCs) are associated with the recently identified
Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCV). However, as it is still unclear to which extent the presence …
