	Squamous cell carcinoma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In medicine, squamous cell carcinoma is a form of cancer of the carcinoma type that may occur in many different organs, including the skin, the esophagus, the lungs, and the cervix.
		Squamous cell carcinomas account for about 20% of non-melanoma skin cancers, (with basal cell carcinomas accounting for about 80%), but are clinically more significant because of their ability to metastasize.
		Squamous cell carcinoma is usually developed in the epithelial layer of the skin and sometimes in different mucous membranes of the body.

	Squamous Cell Lung Cancer / Epidermoid Carcinoma -
		Squamous cell carcinoma lung cancer or epidermoid carcinoma is a slow-spreading, slow-growing disease that develops in the central parts of the lungs.
		Squamous cell (epidermoid) carcinoma lung cancer is essentially cancer of the epithelial (surface) cells of the lungs or bronchi.
		Squamous cell lung cancer or epidermoid carcinoma is a member of the non-small cell lung cancer family.

	Squamous cell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Squamous cells are basically types of cells which can be identified histologically by the fact that they look flattened and thin under a microscope.
		They are one of the cell types which comprise an epithelium.
		In simple squamous epithelia all the cells are in contact with the basal lamina (basement membrane) of the epithelium whereas in stratified squamous epithelia the cells which line the epithelium are arranged in layers and as such some (most) won't be in contact with the basement membrane.

		Squamous cell carcinomas are most commonly found on the ears, the face, and the mouth.
		Squamous cell tumors tend to be more aggressive than basal cell tumors, and are slightly more likely to spread to other parts of the body.

		Although basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma are by far the most frequent types of skin tumors, the skin can also be the site of a large variety of malignant neoplasms.

		Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) accounts for the majority of non-small cell lung cancer, other bronchial tree cancers, and cancers arising throughout the upper aerodigestive tract including the oral cavity, paranasal sinuses, pharynx, larynx, trachea, and esophagus.
		These common changes strongly suggest that initiation, development, and progression of squamous epithelial neoplasia are controlled by some of the same genetic pathways, irrespective of anatomic site.
		A common sequence of SCC karyotype evolution appears to be initial loss of chromosomes or segments, followed by tetraploidization, and ultimately loss of previously uninvolved chromosomes from the tetraploid population.
