Squamous Cell Carcinoma Treatment
 Squamous cell carcinoma is the second
most common skin cancer; it is primarily found in fair-skinned
people and rarely in dark-skinned individuals. Typically located
on the rim of the ear, the face, lips, and mouth, this cancer
may appear as a bump, or as a red, scaly patch. SCC can develop
into large masses and become invasive. Unlike basal cell carcinoma,
this form of cancer can metastasize (spread to other parts
of the body); therefore, it is important to get early treatment.
When found early and treated properly,
the cure rate for both basal cell and squamous cell caracinomas
is more than 95 percent.
