Partial Video Transcript:
"So this video is going to talk about squamous cell cancers. Now squamous cell cancers are the second most common type of skin cancer there is. And squamous cell cancers are more dangerous than basal-cell cancers. So we really need to respect these because they have an increased chance of spreading internally, going to other organs, and wreaking havoc in your body.
Now squamous cell cancers tend to be less locally destructive. But again, they tend to go deeper and spread more easily, especially in certain locations like the ears, around the mouth, and around the nose. So, squamous cell cancers still come from increased exposure over a lifetime to ultraviolet light in other forms of radiation, so we do need to limit those. And if you've been diagnosed with one of these, it's really important that you look at your skin once a month in the mirror to determine if anything is new, changing, growing, or simply not healing..."

I had this on my nose and let me tell you it all happened so fast once I was diagnosed. Moms in a day or two then forehead flap. I don’t think it really hit me until I saw my forehead attached to my nose. My doctor done a great reconstruction job. All I can say your in for a ride 😊

Please tell me how to contact you I have so many questions and I have the same type and it was gone but now it's back and they are considering this type of surgery I am so scared lost and confused
Yes the educated patient is the best patient thanks
Excellent! Thank you!
Had this on my shin. Woke up one morning, and for some weird reason in the middle of the night I had taken my left heel and scraped it against my right shin until it bled. Turns out that cancer cells can irritate nerve endings and so for some reason in my sleep, I started scratching that area. everything healed up except there was a strange white bump in the middle of my shin that one doctor said was just a cyst. But when I went to the dermatologist, they said no it’s more than that because it was also dry and kind of flaky with kind of a slight reddish area around it . Anyway, I did the Mohs surgery. They only had to go down one layer to get all of it. And you end up with stitches. And then because it’s my leg, they want you to keep your leg elevated for a week as much as you can to keep the stitches in place before they dissolve.
Very informative video. Thank you.

Lost my sister to basline squamous cell cancer of the tongue. She was ignnored until it was to late. Blood work doesn't detect this squamous cell cancer. You need an ENT to scope you. If youe feel any pain or discomfort in you ears,nose,throat INSIST your ENT scope you.
I have a squamous cell cancer on the lower eyelid and affecting the nerve(s). Have been told the hole is going to be too big to be stitched and will need skin graft. Why no mention of that particular procedure?
I'm choosing Radiation therapy. My Squamous cell is on my thumb and wrapped around a nerve. Has anyone chosen this procedure?
I was diagnosed with Squamous Cell Carcinoma this morning but its on the back of my hand so I'm hoping it can be relatively easy to treat.

I also was just diagnosed with this on my shoulder. If it is "in situ" then they just do a ED&C. My procedure went well, but my sister died from melanoma, so I'm anxious about the whole situation. Hope you have a positive outcome.

I had a SCC removed from the back of my hand too. The lesion didn’t look like much though it had been hurting more and more. The size of the hole they made was much bigger than I expected.
Oops, the link to the quiz is broken.
What about a non malignant squamous.
what if you have stage 4 of squamous cell carcinomas. Is that the end and and cannot be cured. What is the best procedure after you had already had the moh surgery? I know there are many different procedures.

At this stage if there are no surgical or radiation options, there are newer injectable therapies that can help. Please talk to your oncologist about this option.

If it is growing that quickly then please call your doctor and let them know what is happening so that they can determine how soon you should go back in.

I've been diagnosed with basal-sqaumous cell carcinoma in the center of my chest. My dermatologist wants to cut it out because it can potentially grow into my chest and lungs, but I'm just going to burn it off with my mental powers.

@@sandrider1406 You guys… 😂😂😂 Txs for the laugh! I needed that! Having a SCC in situ treated this coming Wednesday! It, too, is in the center of my chest and likely from chest radiation in 2005 for breast cancer. It’s less than 1 cm, but still creeps me out. Very nervous. Meeting with the surgeon in advance to discuss ED&C vs Mohs. I tend towards Mohs just to make sure all the abnormal cells are removed, but seems like that might be an overkill for a 9 mm in situ lesion. Just don’t know.
