Abstract
After studying this article, the participant should be able to: 1. Identify the subtypes of squamous cell carcinoma of the skin. 2. Identify factors that affect recurrence and/or metastasis. 3. Develop a surgical management plan for treating high-risk squamous cell carcinoma of the skin. In treating squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, a key concept in proper management is understanding why certain tumors are more prone to both recurrence and metastasis. When developing a surgical management plan, an understanding of "high risk" is essential. This article concentrates on identifying those tumor subtypes and factors that may serve as predictors of high-risk status as well as on providing management suggestions.
