Hypofractionated Radiation Therapy for Merkel Cell Carcinoma
This phase II trial tests whether hypofractionated radiation works to treat patients with Merkel cell carcinoma. Radiation therapy uses high energy radio waves to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Hypofractionated radiation therapy delivers higher doses of radiation therapy over a shorter period of time and may be more convenient for patients and less immunosuppressive.
