Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC)






Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC)

Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) is the second most common form of skin cancer. It is affecting around 200,000 Americans each year. Though it is also labelled as a non-melanoma type skin cancer (alongside Basal Cell Carcinoma), it can turn nasty and become fatal as 1-2 percent of cases will metastasize.
Metastasis is a key criterion for malignancy. When the cancerous tumor manages to penetrate from the epidermis layer into the dermis layer of the skin, it could spread out very fast, to lymph nodes, blood vessels, and so to distant sites inside the body.
