Squamous Cell Carcinoma treatment in Puebla

Squamous cell carcinoma is a type of cancer that develops from squamous cells, present in the skin and in the lining of several organs. It is one of the most common forms of skin cancer, although it can also appear in other locations.

How does it manifest on the skin? It usually appears as a lesion that does not heal, a thickened and rough area, or an ulcer that persists, frequently in areas exposed to the sun.

Associated factors: Cumulative exposure to solar radiation and chronic skin damage are linked to its appearance.

Who evaluates it? The dermatologist identifies and studies the skin lesions, and the oncologist together with the radiation oncologist take part in its management. In the presence of a lesion that does not heal or changes over time, it is best to show it to a professional for review.
