Hypofractionated versus standard fractionation radiotherapy for merkel cell carcinoma
Hypofractionated radiotherapy for MCC was associated with similar treatment outcomes relative to standard fractionation. In our limited patient sample, hypofractionated radiation treatment achieved similar results with similar toxicity and fewer treatments. Further analysis of a larger patient population with longer follow up is needed to confirm treatment tolerability and efficacy.
