Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) is a type of skin cancer that begins in the squamous cells, which are the flat, scale-like cells found in the outer layer of the skin (the epidermis). SCC is the second most common type of skin cancer after basal cell carcinoma. While it is generally less aggressive than melanoma, SCC can still be dangerous, particularly if left untreated, as it has the potential to spread (metastasize) to other parts of the body.
Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) is a type of skin cancer that arises from the squamous cells in the skin's epidermis. It's often caused by sun exposure, but other risk factors such as immunosuppression and HPV infection can also contribute. SCC typically appears as a scaly, firm, red nodule or ulcerated lesion and is often found on sun-exposed areas of the skin. Surgical excision is the primary treatment, and radiation and chemotherapy may be used for more advanced cases. Early detection and treatment are key to preventing SCC from spreading and improving outcomes.
