Squamous Cell Carcinoma
There are several types of skin cancer, and squamous cell carcinoma is one of the most common ones. This eMedTV segment features an overview of squamous cell carcinoma, including its risk factors, symptoms, treatment, and more.
Squamus Cell Cancer
Squamous cell carcinoma is a type of skin cancer. This selection from the eMedTV site describes the fatality rate of this type of cancer and discusses possible treatment options. Squamus cell cancer is a common misspelling of squamous cell carcinoma.
Stages of Melanoma
This section of the eMedTV library compares the various melanoma stages. The stages range from 0 to IV and also include recurrent melanoma. They vary in size, location, and whether they have spread to lymph nodes or other areas of the body.
Stages of Skin Cancer
Stages of skin cancer, as this eMedTV resource explains, are based on how large the growth is, how deeply it has grown beneath the epidermis, and whether it has spread. A person's cancer stage can be anywhere from stage 0 to stage IV.
Surgery for Melanoma
Surgery for melanoma, as this eMedTV article explains, is aimed at removing the tumor and preventing it from spreading. This article also discusses the various types of surgeries and possible side effects, such as pain and scarring.
Symptoms of Merkel Cell Carcinoma
Symptoms of Merkel cell carcinoma often include firm, shiny lumps or tumors that are red, blue, or pink. This eMedTV article describes these symptoms in detail, including the body parts most susceptible to the condition.
Treatment for Merkel Cell Carcinoma
Treatment for Merkel cell carcinoma may include surgery, radiation therapy, or chemotherapy. This eMedTV Web page describes these options in detail and how the right treatment depends on several factors, such as the patient's age and overall health.
Treatment of Nonmelanoma Skin Cancer
Types of nonmelanoma skin cancer include basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. As this eMedTV article explains, treatment includes laser surgery and cryosurgery. It also explains the importance of follow-up exams after treatment.
