Patients & Friends
- Find out how you can make a difference in MCC:
- YOU matter - We are working to find a cure to MCC. We are looking for individuals with MCC who would like to be involved in our research studies. If you are interested in helping us please contact Susan Scudiere, our Study Coordinator at 412-623-7941 or scudiere@pitt.edu.
- Your VOICE matters - If you or a family member is affected by cancer, particularly Merkel cell carcinoma, then you have a very poignant message to give to your congressman about the need to support all forms of nonmilitary biomedical research in the US, including basic, translational, and applied research. If you have not done so already, write to them and also visit the American Cancer Society Advocacy webpage: http://www.cancer.org/docroot/adv/adv_0.asp

- Support - A Merkel cell carcinoma support group can be found at http://groups.google.com/group/merkelcell
