Résumé

Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare tumor of the skin that has an aggressive behavior. Immunity is the main regulator of MCC development, and many interactions between lymphocytes and tumor cells have been proven. However, the impact of tumor-infiltrating myeloid cells needs better characterization.
