Dr. Baumann sheds light on the incidence, prognosis, and treatment of patients with Merkel cell carcinoma, ongoing clinical research, and strategies to raise awareness for this rare disease.

Welcome to a very special edition of OncLive On Air^TM. I'm your host today, Jason Harris.

OncLive On Air™ is a podcast from OncLive®, which provides oncology professionals with the resources and information they need to provide the best patient care.
