Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the second most common type of skin cancer. Like BCC’s, these lesions are most commonly found on sun-exposed skin. They may arise de novo or from pre-existing actinic keratoses. Although SCCs rarely spread, they can be locally destructive and lead to disfigurement if untreated. Certain locations such as mucosal surfaces and the ear do have a higher rate of metastasis (spreading to lymph nodes and/or other organs) and require prompt intervention.
Possible treatments:
