Abstract
Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a common type of skin cancer that can be treated through surgical excision using Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) which results in minimal scarring and low complications.

Other non-surgical treatment options include chemotherapy (topical or systemic), radiation, or immunotherapy for advanced skin cancers.
