Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a type of skin cancer that arises from the squamous cells that make up the outer layer of the skin. SCC of the skin is typically not life-threatening, with the 5-year survival rate ranging between 95%-99% when detected early and appropriate treatment is sought.
Once squamous cell carcinoma has spread beyond the skin, though, less than half of people live five years, even with aggressive treatment. There are many ways to treat squamous cell carcinoma that has not spread.
Squamous cell carcinoma. Most people think of skin cancer when they hear the words "squamous cell carcinoma." And it is true that this type of carcinoma often shows up on the skin.

Metastatic squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) to the skin, also known as secondary SCC of the skin (SSS), is a rare entity that represents advanced disease and carries a poor prognosis.
A term used to describe cells and tissue that have mature (specialized) structures and functions. In cancer, well-differentiated cancer cells look more like normal cells under a microscope and tend to grow and spread more slowly than poorly differentiated or undifferentiated cancer cells.
Cancers that are known collectively as head and neck cancers usually begin in the squamous cells that line the mucosal surfaces of the head and neck (for example, those inside the mouth, throat, and voice box). These cancers are referred to as squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck.

A primary malignant neoplasm that overlaps two or more contiguous (next to each other) sites should be classified to the subcategory/code .8 ('overlapping lesion'), unless the combination is specifically indexed elsewhere.
