Overview

Squamous cell carcinoma is a type of cancer that occurs in the lining of organs or other body parts. It often arises from pre-existing squamous cells, which are the cells that exist in the upper layers of the epithelium. Squamous cell carcinomas can be found in almost any organ of the body, though the most common sites for these cancers include the mouth, lungs, throat, esophagus, anus, and skin. In order to diagnose and treat this type of cancer, physicians must use a variety of tests and treatments, such as imaging scans, biopsies, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. If left untreated, squamous cell carcinomas can spread to other parts of the body and be life-threatening. As such, early detection and treatment are key to improving the prognosis and outcome of those affected.
