	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.

		A squamous cell carcinoma of the skin is a form of skin cancer which is usually the result of long-term sun damage to the skin.
		Squamous cell carcinomas are most common on the face because the face receives more sunlight than other parts of the body.
		Squamous cell carcinomas are often much bigger under the skin than they appear on the surface.

	Squamous Cell Carcinoma from Dermatology / Malignant Neoplasms (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		SCC in situ is characterized by severe atypia of the basal layer, buckshot scatter of atypical cells, intraepidermal nests of atypical cells, or full-thickness intraepidermal proliferation of atypical keratinocytes with or without involvement of follicular structures.
		Because spindle cell carcinoma is a lesion derived from keratinocytes, antibody staining for CK and epithelial membrane antigen (EMA) characterizes it.
		In general, metastasis from SCC of the forehead, the temples, the eyelids, the cheeks, and the ears is to the parotid nodes, whereas metastasis from SCC of the lips and the perioral region is primarily to the submental and submaxillary (upper cervical) nodes.

		Squamous refers to the shape of the affect skin cells, the ephitelial layer of cells (or the outermost layer of skin), are affected and these cells tend to be flattened, disc shaped cells - or squames.
		SCC's may start as a flat area on the skin that may be scaly that thickens and may also bleed or ulcerate.
		Squamous cell carcinomas, like all cancers, are the result of a change in normal cells leading to over proliferation - that is, normal controls fail and the cells reproduce themselves uncontrollably.

	Squamous Cell Carcinoma
		A squamous cell carcinoma (or SCC) is a skin cancer that may appear as a bump or as a red, scaly patch.
		SCC may spread to the lymph nodes in the area (lymph nodes are small bean-shaped structures that are found throughout the body; they produce and store infection-fighting cells).
		At times, aggressive SCC will be found that looked like a different type of skin cancer, so only a biopsy can determine what the risk is with certainty.

		The squamous cell is found in the outer layers of the skin (the epidermis) and is a type of keratinocyte (a cell that makes the protein keratin).
		In genital areas, SCC are usually related to infection with papillomavirus (genital warts) or skin disease such as lichen sclerosus or lichen planus (see vulvar cancer).
		Luckily, SCC is not usually a threat to life as secondary spread (metastasis) is uncommon.

		This review article discusses the main etiologic theories of squamous cell carcinoma, characteristics of skin cancer in the immunosuppressed patient, differences in skin cancer amongst three types of solid-organ transplantation (kidney, heart, and liver), and established and new treatments.
		However, the incidence of SCC in transplant recipients is 40 to 250 times that of the general population, whereas the incidence of BCC is 10 times greater in transplant patients.[55,69] This results in a reversal of the BCC/SCC ratio.
		SCCs in transplant patients are much more aggressive and deadly.[78,79] They tend to recur locally even after surgical excision.[80] Cancer that spread to lymph nodes occurred in 5.8% of patients.
