About Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a type of cancer that originates from the squamous cells, which are found in the skin, roof of the the mouth, and lining of the large mouth intestine. It is a common malignancy that can infiltrate the surrounding tissue and can often be diagnosed through biopsy or other imaging tests. SCC can present in various forms, such as sedge, basal cell, squamous cell, etc. , and its symptoms and severity vary depending on the type and individual differences. Treatment usually includes surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and targeted therapy. The 5-year survival rate is about 20%. SCC is a potentially curable cancer, but early detection and treatment are crucial.

Major Symptoms of Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) is a common skin cancer. The main symptoms include:

1. Skin symptoms: SCC usually starts on the skin area exposed to the sun and may appear red, hard, swollen, and painful. or itching. These symptoms may gradually worsen or disappear, but eventually become persistent.

3. Metastasis: SCC is highly metastatic and can spread to other parts through lymphatic vessels or blood system. Common sites of metastasis include lymph nodes, face, neck, chest, back, buttocks, and legs.

4. Appearance: SCC tumors usually appear as spots, plaques or nodular growths. The appearance of the tumor may be similar to that of normal skin, but sometimes it may have a different color.

5. Itching: SCC tumors may cause skin itching, especially if the tumor grows rapidly or metastasizes.

6. Pain: SCC tumors may cause skin pain, especially if the tumor grows rapidly or metastasizes.

7. Care: SCC patients may need special care, such as bathing frequently, avoiding friction, wearing appropriate shoes and clothing, etc. In addition, because SCC is highly metastatic, patients may need to undergo regular testing and treatment.
