In general, small squamous cell cancers can be cured with these treatments. Larger squamous cell cancers are harder to treat, and fast-growing cancers have a higher risk of coming back.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>Rarely, squamous cell cancers can spread to lymph nodes or distant parts of the body. If this occurs, it may be necessary to administer treatments such as radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or both.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>Surgery</p>\n<p>To treat squamous cell skin cancers, different kinds of surgery can be used.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>Excision: The tumor is often removed along with a small margin of normal skin to treat squamous cell cancers.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>Curettage (curettage) and electrodesiccation: This method is sometimes useful in the treatment of small and thin squamous cell cancers (measuring less than 1 cm in width), but is not recommended for larger tumors.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>Mohs surgery: Mohs surgery has the best cure rate. This operation is especially useful in the treatment of squamous cell cancers of more than 2 cm (about 4/5 of an inch) in width or with poorly defined edges, for cancers that have reappeared after other treatments, for a cancer that is It is extending along the nerves under the skin and for a cancer located in certain areas of the face or genital area. This method is typically more complex, and takes more time than other types of surgery.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>Radiotherapy</p>\n<p>Radiation therapy is often a good option for patients with large tumors, especially in areas where it would be difficult to perform surgery (such as the eyelids, ears or nose) or for patients who can not undergo surgery. This treatment is not used as much as the initial treatment in younger patients because of the possible risk of long-term problems.</p>\n<p>Sometimes radiation is used after surgery (simple excision or lymph node dissection) if the entire cancer was not removed (if the surgical margins were positive), if the nerves are affected, or if there is a likelihood that some of the cancer has still been.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>Radiation is also used to treat cancers that have come back after surgery and have grown too large or have invaded so deeply that they can be surgically removed.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>Cryotherapy</p>\n<p>Cryosurgery (cryosurgery) is used for some early-stage squamous cell cancers, especially in people who can not undergo surgery, but it is not recommended for larger invasive tumors, nor for tumors in certain parts of the nose, ears, the eyelids, the scalp or the legs.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>Treatment of advanced squamous cell cancers</p>\n<p>Lymph node dissection: Removal of regional (nearby) lymph nodes may be recommended in some squamous cell cancers that are very large or have invaded deeply into the skin, and if the lymph nodes feel enlarged or hard to the touch. The lymph nodes that are removed will be looked at under a microscope to see if they contain cancer cells. Sometimes, radiation therapy may be recommended after surgery.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>Systemic chemotherapy: Chemotherapy is an option for those patients with squamous cell cancer that has spread to lymph nodes or distant organs. Sometimes, it is combined with surgery or radiotherapy.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>Immunotherapy: Another option for advanced squamous cell cancers that can not be cured with surgery or radiation therapy could be the use of an immunotherapy drug, such as cemiplimab (Libtayo).</p>\n<p>Sources</p>\n<p>https://www.cancer.org/cancer/basal-and-squamous-cell-skin-cancer/treating/squamousl-cell-carcinoma.html</p>\n<p>https://cancer.org/cancer/basal-and-squamous-cell-skin-cancer/treating/basal-cell-carcinoma.html</p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"fksx2ldh5","appParentAuthor":"kilishi","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |
