Description

'Fast Facts: Advanced Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma' is for people who have or may have advanced cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma. It aims to help patients, and people close to them, understand the condition so they can have better discussions with the cancer team. Decisions about treatment and next steps are highly individual. They will depend on the site and features of the person’s cancer as well as their general health. With its clear text and diagrams, this booklet can help the patient understand how the cancer develops and the tests and treatments that may be recommended. And with boxes and prompts for the reader’s own notes and questions, 'Fast Facts: Advanced Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma' can become a truly personalized resource. Contents: • What is cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma? • What is advanced cSCC? • Metastatic cSCC • Diagnosis • Additional biopsies • Staging • Surgery • Radiation therapy (radiotherapy) • Systemic treatment • Questions to ask your doctor about your treatment • What can I do to help myself? • Palliative care • Research • Asking questions • Useful resources
