This abstract outlines the current understanding of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC), identifying it as the second most common non-melanoma skin cancer with risk factors like UV exposure and immunosuppression. It highlights cSCC's potential to metastasize and become fatal, affecting 2%-5% of in situ cases.

In this retrospective chart review, researchers found that keratinocyte carcinomas on the scalp and forehead of non-alopecic women occurred more frequently in the part line of the scalp, with basal cell carcinoma being more common than squamous cell carcinoma.

The researchers reported that in nonmelanoma skin cancers, the expression of osteopontin splice variants is significantly higher compared to normal skin, with OPN-a elevated in basal cell carcinoma more than OPN-c.

This study found that basal cell carcinoma is more prevalent on the cutaneous lip while squamous cell carcinoma is more common on the vermilion lip, with rare recurrences following Mohs micrographic surgery.
