Squamous cell carcinoma
Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a type of skin cancer that develops in the cells of the epidermis and often occurs in areas that are frequently exposed to the sun, such as the face, ears, neck and hands. It usually presents as a rapidly growing sore, nodule or crust that does not heal. Early diagnosis and treatment is critical to preventing cancer from spreading to other parts of the body. The choice of treatment depends on the size, location and stage of the cancer, with options including surgical removal, cryotherapy or local treatments.
