What Is Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC)
Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) develops in the squamous cells of skin and is the second most common type of skin cancer in Australia, accounting for about 15-20% of all skin cancers. The most commonly affected areas are the face (particularly the lower lip), ears, neck, forearms, back of the hands and lower legs.SCC should be diagnosed and removed as early as possible because of its ability to spread . Over 99% of people who have a SCC removed are completely cured.
