Treatment of recurrent Merkel cell carcinoma may include the following:

• Surgery (sentinel lymph node biopsy or lymph node dissection) with or without radiation therapy.
• Radiation therapy after surgery.
• Chemotherapy.

Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's PDQ Cancer Clinical Trials Registry that are now accepting patients with recurrent neuroendocrine carcinoma of the skin. For more specific results, refine the search by using other search features, such as the location of the trial, the type of treatment, or the name of the drug. General information about clinical trials is available from the NCI Web site.
