Zusammenfassung

Das Merkelzellkarzinom ist ein aggressiver, neuroendokriner Tumor der Haut mit steigender Inzidenz. Im Oktober 2017 wurde der erste Immuncheckpointinhibitor zur Therapie des metastasierten Merkelzellkarzinoms in Deutschland zugelassen. Wie schon beim Melanom und anderen Malignomen scheinen auch Patienten mit Merkelzellkarzinom von der Reaktivierung des Immunsystems zu profitieren.
