Is the cure rate of squamous cell carcinoma in skin cancer high?

Early diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma among skin cancers is the key to successful treatment. Treatment should be thorough to avoid metastasis. The appropriate treatment plan can be selected according to the size of the tumor, the degree of tissue differentiation, the patient's age and physical condition. So is the cure rate of squamous cell carcinoma among skin cancers high? If it is discovered and treated in time at an early stage, it can still be cured, but it is hard to say if it develops to the late stage. Here are several treatment plans.

1. Surgical treatment: Scalp squamous cell carcinoma should be treated with a single surgical resection. For small lesions and well-differentiated tumors, surgical resection should be the first choice, followed by primary suture. For larger lesions, flap transfer or skin grafting should be performed after resection.
2. Lymph node dissection: It is difficult to decide whether to perform selective regional lymph node dissection (ERND) after surgical resection of squamous cell carcinoma. For example, in the case of squamous cell carcinoma of the lower lip, there was no significant difference between the group with palpable lymph nodes and the group with preventive dissection without palpable lymph nodes.
3. Radiotherapy: For those who are not suitable for surgery or have contraindications to surgery, X-ray or radium gamma-ray therapy can be used. It is suitable for the elderly and frail, those with contraindications to surgery, cancers occurring on scar tissue or in areas with insufficient blood supply, cancers in areas with little connective tissue (such as the outer ear, fingers, etc.), or cancers that have invaded cartilage or bones (such as on the scalp or auricle), or cancers that have metastasized to lymph nodes.
