SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the skin is a common form of skin cancer that develops in the squamous cells that make up the middle and outer layers of the skin.

​

Squamous cells are found in many places in your body, and SCC of the skin can occur anywhere squamous cells are found. 

​

SCC is usually not life-threatening, though it can be aggressive sometimes. If it is left untreated, SCC of the skin can grow large or spread to other parts of your body, causing serious complications.
