Merkel cell carcinoma is a rare, aggressive neuroendocrine tumor of the skin with a predisposition for local regional and distant spread. Radiotherapy after wide local excision has improved local control, but distant spread continues to be a significant problem. This is an update of our experience i

We characterized 8 human hepatocellular-carcinoma cell lines established from the primary tumors of Korean patients. All lines showed substrate adherence and one line from anaplastic tumor also grew as floating aggregates. Most cultured cells maintained many morphological characteristics of the orig
## Abstract The primary neuroendocrine carcinoma of the skin or Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a skin tumor with aggressive biological behaviour. Experimental models for investigating the biological properties of the tumor are prerequisite for developing new therapeutic approaches. In this study, w
## Background: Six human pancreatic carcinoma cell lines, designated as kmp-1 to kmp-6, were established and maintained in vitro for > 3 years. all were derived from pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas. the six cell lines originated from either primary pancreatic tumors, metastatic liver tumors, or m
We report 8 newly established gastric-carcinoma cell lines (SNU-216, 484, 520, 601, 620, 638, 668, 719) from Korean patients. Morphologic study was carried out using light and electron microscopes. CEA, aFP, and CA 19-9 and TPA in supernatant and in cell lysate were measured by radioimmunoassay. p53
## Abstract The recently discovered human polyomavirus (MCPyV) is frequently found in Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) tissue and is believed to be causally linked to MCC pathogenesis. While cell lines established from MCC represent a valuable tool to study the contribution of MCPyV to MCC pathogenesis,
