✦ Synopsis

The clinical courses of six patients treated with cytotoxic chemotherapy for recurrent Merkel cell tumor of the skin are reported. All patients experienced prompt clinical responses to chemotherapy (five complete response [CR], one partial response [PR]) and three patients (50%) have achieved long-term disease-free remission. The report highlights (1) the aggressive nature of Merkel cell skin cancer, (2) the highly chemosensitive nature of the disease, and (3) some practical problems in administering chemotherapy to elderly patients.
