HEAD AND NECK CUTANEOUS SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA- MEDSCAPE


A recent review by authors Marcus Monroe, MD; Chief Editor: Arlen D Meyers, MD, MBA on the Head & Neck cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas is a very interesting presentation of the topic that is detailed and up-to-date.
The article includes:
  • Mucosal carcinomas
  • History  of the carcinomas with the oldest case recorded
  • Recent modification of TNM which takes into account high risk features and diameter of the lesion
  • Pathogenesis ( which sadly has not focused much on the intraoral carcinomas)
  • Details of diagnosis work up ( laboratory and imaging)
  • Histopathology of variants
  • Treatment considerations
This is an all in all great reading for those interested in Squamous cell carcinomas of Head & Neck.
