title: Squamous cell carcinoma of the skin (excluding lip and oral mucosa).
abstract: The striking impression obtained from reviewing the cancer literature is how difficult it is to analyze the data for answers to many important biologic, behavioral, prognostic, and therapeutic questions about squamous cell carcinoma of the skin. This article addresses current concepts, controversies, and management of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (excluding the lip and oral mucosa).
