Squamous Cell Carcinoma Treatment
Squamous Cell Carcinoma Treatment
Squamous cell carcinoma is a type of cancer that originates from squamous cells found in the skin, lungs, mouth, and other organs. It is known to be one of the most common types of skin cancer, and when diagnosed early, it is quite responsive to treatment. In our clinic, we assist our patients in regaining their health by offering effective methods for the treatment of squamous cell carcinoma.
What is Squamous Cell Carcinoma?
Squamous cell carcinoma arises from the abnormal growth of skin cells. Factors such as sun exposure, skin injuries or irritations, and HPV (Human Papillomavirus) play a role in the development of this cancer. It typically appears as raised, red, ulcerated, or scaly lesions on the skin.
Symptoms
The symptoms of squamous cell carcinoma may include:
- Raised, rough, or scaly lesions on the skin
- Redness and irritation
- Non-healing sores or persistent bleeding
- White, ulcerated areas in the mouth or other regions
Treatment Options
In our clinic, the methods used for treating squamous cell carcinoma vary depending on the patient's condition and the location of the lesion. The main treatment methods include:
-
Surgical Intervention: Complete removal of the tumor is the most common method for treating squamous cell carcinoma. The type of surgery depends on the size and location of the tumor.
-
Radiation Therapy: This treatment method uses high-energy beams to kill cancer cells and stop tumor growth. It can be applied after surgery or as an alternative to surgery.
-
Chemotherapy: In advanced cases of squamous cell carcinoma, this treatment method involves using drugs that target cancer cells. It is usually administered in combination with other treatment methods.
-
Photodynamic Therapy (PDT): This method targets cancer cells using a combination of special light and medication. It is typically effective for treating superficial lesions.
-
Immunotherapies: New treatment options that enhance the body's immune system to fight cancer. They can be particularly useful in advanced cases of squamous cell carcinoma.
Treatment Process
The treatment process for squamous cell carcinoma may vary based on the patient's overall health, the stage of the lesion, and the treatment method. Regular check-ups and follow-ups during the treatment process are crucial for monitoring the patient's health.
