Squamous-cell carcinoma or squamous-cell cancer (SCC or SqCC) is a cancer of a kind of epithelial cell, the squamous cell.These cells are the main part of the epidermis of the skin, and this cancer is one of the major forms of skin cancer. Unlike basal-cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous-cell carcinoma (SCC) has a substantial risk of metastasis. 2  Risk of metastasis is higher in SCC arising in scars, on the lower lips or mucosa, and occurring in immunosuppressed patients.
Squamous cells are flat cells on the outer surface of the cervix. They are like the cells you find on the outer layer of your skin. When these cells start to grow abnormally, it is the beginning of squamous cell cancer, or carcinoma. This is the most common form of cervical cancer. The good news is that this type of cancer is generally slow growing. Squamous cell cancer can take three to five years to fully develop. That's why routine pap testing is a good idea to catch changes before they become cancerous.
