Squamous Cell Carcinoma

📋Overview

Squamous Cell Carcinoma is a type of non-melanoma cancer that arises from the squamous cells forming the middle and outer layers of the skin. These cells are also located in other parts of the body, including the respiratory tract and the lining of certain internal organs.

This condition involves the abnormal growth of cells that typically serve as a protective barrier for bodily surfaces. It is considered a primary form of epithelial malignancy and can occur in various anatomical sites where squamous tissue is present.
