The aggressive nature of this tumour type mandates aggressive surgical resection with margins similar to those now recommended for skin Merkel cell carcinomas. We advocate a wide excision margin of 20mm to give adequate clearance, with neck dissection in order to pathologically stage this cancer type.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
