Squamous cell carcinoma is the second most common type of skin cancer after basal cell carcinoma and is more aggressive than the latter. It accounts for approximately 20\u201325% of all skin tumours. It is also referred to as cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma. Metastasis occurs in only 3\u20135% of cases and it is usually not fatal. However, it can grow rapidly and has a high capacity for local invasion, which makes early diagnosis and treatment essential. <\/p>\n

Early diagnosis<\/h3>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||30px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

At the Grupo Pedro Ja\u00e9n Skin Cancer Unit, early detection of squamous cell carcinoma is a priority. The use of advanced diagnostic techniques such as confocal microscopy<\/a>, digital dermoscopy and the Vectra 360<\/a> system allows suspicious lesions to be accurately analysed and treated before the tumour progresses. <\/p>\n

Benefits of early diagnosis<\/strong><\/p>\n

Identifying squamous cell carcinoma at an early stage reduces the risk of local invasion and limits the need for more aggressive treatments. This facilitates therapeutic approaches associated with fewer sequelae and faster recovery. <\/p>\n

State-of-the-art tools for greater precision<\/strong><\/p>\n

Advanced diagnostic technologies improve accuracy and ensure that each patient receives the most appropriate treatment according to the characteristics of the tumour. Precise detection supports optimal treatment planning and helps avoid unnecessary removal of healthy tissue, preserving function and aesthetics in exposed areas such as the face, lips and neck. <\/p>\n

Squamous cell carcinoma may progress rapidly, which is why early recognition of symptoms and prompt diagnosis are crucial. Surgical excision is usually the treatment of choice. Depending on the characteristics of each case, conventional surgery or Mohs surgery may be indicated. <\/p>\n

Wide local excision<\/strong><\/p>\n

This procedure involves removing the tumour together with a margin of surrounding healthy skin to ensure complete excision. The width of the margin depends on the size, thickness and location of the tumour, as it is not always possible to remove wide margins in small or anatomically complex areas. <\/p>\n

Mohs surgery<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mohs surgery allows the tumour to be removed layer by layer, with each layer examined microscopically in the operating theatre until no tumour cells remain. This technique is reserved for recurrent squamous cell carcinomas, tumours located in anatomically complex areas (such as the eyebrows, hands, ears or face), or high-risk lesions. <\/p>\n

Although complete tumour removal is the primary objective, functional and aesthetic outcomes are also carefully considered, as squamous cell carcinoma often affects highly visible areas of the body.<\/p>\n

Reduction of functional impact<\/strong><\/p>\n

Squamous cell carcinoma rarely metastasises, but its ability to invade adjacent tissues may lead to significant skin loss, scarring or functional deformities, particularly when located near the mouth, nose or eyes. In such cases, reconstructive surgery may be required and is available at Grupo Pedro Ja\u00e9n.<\/p>\n

Aesthetic improvement <\/strong><\/p>\n

AIn addition to plastic and reconstructive surgery, some patients may benefit from medical aesthetic treatments to minimise scarring, correct asymmetries or improve the appearance of areas affected by surgery. These options are available through the Laser, Regenerative Medicine and Facial Aesthetics Units.<\/a> <\/p>\n

The Grupo Pedro Ja\u00e9n Skin Cancer Unit works in coordination with other specialised units within the group to support recovery after squamous cell carcinoma surgery.<\/p>\n

Hyperbaric medicine<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy<\/a> increases tissue oxygenation, reduces inflammation and post-surgical oedema, lowers the risk of infection and promotes tissue regeneration and wound healing. It may be considered after squamous cell carcinoma surgery, particularly in high-risk patients, following extensive procedures with skin grafts or flaps, or in areas with limited vascularisation such as the ears or nose. <\/p>\n

Medical and aesthetic treatments<\/strong><\/p>\n

When necessary, specialists in our Facial Aesthetics Unit<\/a> support the optimisation of surgical outcomes using neuromodulators, dermal fillers or biostimulators to improve skin quality. Laser treatments may also be used to improve scar appearance and achieve optimal functional and aesthetic results. In addition, the Beauty and Wellbeing Unit offers specific post-surgical treatments to promote tissue drainage and accelerate recovery. <\/p>\n

Management of squamous cell carcinoma requires a personalised approach that may combine different therapeutic strategies depending on tumour location, size and aggressiveness. In addition to surgery, other treatment options may be considered. <\/p>\n

Non-invasive therapies<\/strong><\/p>\n

Highly localised squamous cell carcinomas and superficial lesions may benefit from topical chemotherapeutic treatments aimed at stimulating the immune response or inhibiting tumour cell proliferation. In selected cases, and when lesions are in situ, photodynamic therapy may also be an option. <\/p>\n

Disseminated tumours<\/strong><\/p>\n

Recurrent squamous cell carcinomas, advanced-stage tumours or those with metastatic spread may require radiotherapy (for tumour size reduction prior to surgery), systemic chemotherapy or next-generation immunomodulatory therapies.<\/p>\n

In addition to treatment, our unit places strong emphasis on prevention and control of risk factors. Unprotected sun exposure, skin photoageing and certain harmful habits increase the risk of developing new tumours. For this reason, personalised prevention and monitoring programmes are designed for each patient. <\/p>\n

Preventive laser<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dermatologists in our Laser Unit are involved in research supporting the preventive role of CO\u2082 rejuvenation laser therapy in the management of the most common skin tumours, including basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma.<\/p>\n

Ongoing care and personalised follow-up<\/strong><\/p>\n

After treatment, a long-term follow-up plan is established to detect any signs of recurrence. Regular check-ups are carried out using advanced diagnostic technologies, such as Vectra 360 and confocal microscopy, enabling early and precise intervention when necessary. <\/p>\n

A guide to understanding squamous<\/mark> cell carcinoma<\/h2>\n

Squamous cell carcinoma is a malignant neoplasm that originates in squamous cells, also known as keratinocytes. These are flat cells with a scale-like appearance that are found in the lining of hollow organs (such as the bladder, kidneys, uterus, cervix, digestive tract and respiratory tree) as well as on the surface of the skin.<\/p>\n

Keratinocytes are responsible for producing keratin, a protein that provides strength and resistance to the skin, hair and nails. They also play a key role in the skin barrier, helping to prevent water loss and skin dehydration. <\/p>\n

Malignant proliferation of these cells disrupts normal keratinisation and leads to the development of squamous cell carcinoma, which most commonly affects areas of the body that are frequently exposed to sunlight. These include the face, hairless scalp, ears, neck, shoulders, forearms and the backs of the hands. It is also relatively common in women to develop squamous cell carcinoma on the anterior surface of the lower leg (tibial area), as well as on the lower lip, particularly in smokers. <\/p>\n

Although less frequently, squamous cell carcinoma may appear on any part of the body, including the soles of the feet or the genital area, and even inside the mouth. It may also develop on pre-existing skin lesions such as chronic ulcers, scars, fistulas or burns.<\/p>\n

There are two specific entities within the spectrum of squamous cell carcinoma:<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_toggle title=”Keratoacanthoma” admin_label=”S4conmutador1 – Margen top \/ base: 30, relleno topo \/ base: 25.” _builder_version=”4.16.0″ _module_preset=”340b8c79-26d7-4fad-8112-9bf37cf22d23″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Keratoacanthoma is characterised by very rapid growth and may reach a large size within just two or three weeks. Despite its alarming appearance, it has an excellent prognosis and, in some cases, may even regress spontaneously without treatment. <\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”Bowen\u2019s disease” admin_label=”S4conmutador1 – Margen top \/ base: 30, relleno topo \/ base: 25.” _builder_version=”4.16.0″ _module_preset=”340b8c79-26d7-4fad-8112-9bf37cf22d23″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Also known as squamous cell carcinoma in situ, Bowen\u2019s disease is confined to the epidermis and typically presents as a reddish lesion resembling eczema. It is very superficial, non-invasive and has no metastatic potential, which is why its prognosis is generally favourable. <\/p>\n

Risk factors for squamous cell carcinoma<\/h3>\n

As with other types of skin cancer, the most significant risk factor for developing squamous cell carcinoma is prolonged exposure to ultraviolet radiation over many years. <\/p>\n

Consequently, the population group most susceptible to squamous cell carcinoma largely overlaps with that of basal cell carcinoma: men over the age of 50 who have experienced long-term exposure to ultraviolet radiation, primarily from sunlight. <\/p>\n

This type of skin cancer is more common in individuals with fair skin, light hair and light-coloured eyes. However, although people with darker skin are less likely to develop squamous cell carcinoma, it is the most common skin cancer among individuals of African and Asian descent. <\/p>\n

Squamous cell carcinoma may also develop due to other factors. Higher risk is observed in frequent users of tanning beds or sun lamps, immunocompromised patients, individuals with a personal history of skin cancer, those with severe inherited dermatological conditions such as xeroderma pigmentosum or albinism, and people who work outdoors or are exposed to high levels of arsenic and\/or tar. <\/p>\n

Finally, individuals with actinic keratoses, visible scars or chronic ulcers caused by certain medical conditions have an increased risk of developing squamous cell carcinoma arising on these lesions.<\/p>\n

Prognosis and symptoms of squamous cell carcinoma<\/h3>\n

Squamous cell carcinoma may progress rapidly, making early recognition of symptoms and prompt diagnosis particularly important.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_toggle title=” Prognosis of squamous cell carcinoma” admin_label=”S4conmutador1 – Margen top \/ base: 30, relleno topo \/ base: 25.” _builder_version=”4.16.0″ _module_preset=”340b8c79-26d7-4fad-8112-9bf37cf22d23″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Squamous cell carcinoma metastasises<\/a> in only 3\u20135% of cases and is generally not fatal. Nevertheless, it may grow rapidly (as in the case of keratoacanthoma) and has a strong capacity for local invasion, especially when located on mucosal surfaces. These factors significantly increase the risk of recurrence and highlight the importance of early diagnosis and treatment. <\/p>\n

Squamous cell carcinomas located on the ears, lips, scars or near nerve endings are more likely to spread. Rapid progression may result in substantial tissue loss if treatment is delayed, leading to significant aesthetic damage and potential functional impairment.<\/p>\n

It is also noteworthy that approximately one third of squamous cell carcinomas affecting the tongue or oral cavity have already metastasised at the time of diagnosis.<\/p>\n

For all these reasons, regular monitoring and early diagnosis of skin cancer are essential.<\/p>\n

La manifestaci\u00f3n m\u00e1s habitual del carcinoma espinocelular es un n\u00f3dulo rojizo de consistencia firme que presenta una ligera descamaci\u00f3n superficial. Esta lesi\u00f3n va aumentando de tama\u00f1o en forma de tumoraci\u00f3n dura y puede desarrollar una especie de costra. Finalmente, la formaci\u00f3n roja se ulcera y da lugar a una llaga abierta que no cicatriza, extendi\u00e9ndose por el tejido vecino. <\/p>\n

Squamous cell carcinoma may also present as a flat plaque with a scaly crust; a new ulcer or one arising on a pre-existing scar or chronic skin lesion; a rough lesion on the lip that may ulcerate and form a non-healing wound; a rough patch inside the mouth; or a raised red growth. The latter presentation is more common when squamous cell carcinoma is located in the perianal or genital region.<\/p>\n
