TLDR
One hundred eighty-seven squamous cell carcinomas of the lower lip were examined microscopically to identify parameters that might predict metastasis and patient outcome and these important prognostic variables were best evaluated in the deeper portions of the lesions.

Prognostic factors for local recurrence, metastasis, and survival rates in squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, ear, and lip : implications for treatment modality selection

TL;DR: All studies since 1940 on the prognosis of squamous cell carcinoma of the skin and lip are reviewed, finding local recurrences occur less frequently when SCC is treated by Mohs micrographic surgery.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma: Incidence, risk factors, diagnosis, and staging

TL;DR: The incidence, recurrence rates, mortality rates, and risk factors associated with cSCC are discussed and the staging systems used to stratify patients into high- and low-risk groups are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Importance of tumor thickness and depth of invasion in nodal involvement and prognosis of oral squamous cell carcinoma: a review of the literature.

TL;DR: There are still many doubts concerning the best way to approach N0 neck disease in early‐stage lesions (T1 and T2).
Journal ArticleDOI

Prognostic Factors for Metastasis in Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Skin

TL;DR: Patients with tumors that exhibit certain clinical and histologic features are more likely to metastasize and need close follow-up to detect recurrence and metastasis early, allowing for appropriate life-saving intervention.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biology of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma

TL;DR: The biology of squamous cell carcinoma is reviewed under the broad areas of etiology, immunobiology, biochemistry, metastatic potential, and therapy, with emphasis on prevention, diagnosis, and management.

Squamous-cell epithelioma of the lip: a study of five hundred and thirty-seven cases

A. C. Broders
- 06 Mar 1920 - 
TL;DR: Of all the malignant neoplasms with which man is afflicted, few cause more concern and inconvenience than that of epithelioma of the lip; but pathologists have been content to classify cancer of thelip as cancer, without any distinction as to the degree of malignancy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prognostic value of histopathologic parameters in squamous cell carcinoma of the oropharynx

TL;DR: Large tumor size, nodal metastases, and male sex were found to be predictive of a poorer survival and an analysis of a combination of clinical and histologic parameters demonstrated that the pattern of invasion was the only histologic factor that was predictive of survival.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prognostic and therapeutic use of microstaging of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma of the trunk and extremities.

TL;DR: The thickness and level of invasion of cutaneous SCC appear to represent important prognostic factors and may be relevant indicators for wide field resection and/or elective lymph node dissection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Carcinoma of the lip

TL;DR: Surgical management is recommended for most patients because of the advantage of tumor margin assessment, avoidance of radiotherapy complications, and rapid rehabilitation.
