There is a risk of metastasis starting more than 10 years [citation needed] after diagnosable appearance of squamous-cell carcinoma, but the risk is low, [specify] though much [specify] higher than with basal-cell carcinoma. Squamous-cell cancers of the lip and ears have high rates of local recurrence and distant metastasis. [27]
Squamous-cell carcinoma (SCC), also known as epidermoid carcinoma, comprises a number of different types of cancer that begin in squamous cells. [1] These cells form on the surface of the skin, on the lining of hollow organs in the body, and on the lining of the respiratory and digestive tracts .

Carcinoma of the tonsil is a type of squamous cell carcinoma. The tonsil is the most common site of squamous cell carcinoma in the oropharynx. It comprises 23.1% of all malignancies of the oropharynx. [1] The tumors frequently present at advanced stages, and around 70% of patients present with metastasis to the cervical lymph nodes. [2].
Laryngeal cancer may spread by: direct extension to adjacent structures, metastasis to regional cervical lymph nodes, or via the blood stream. The most common site of distant metastases is the lung. Laryngeal cancer occurred in 177,000 people in 2018, and resulted in 94,800 deaths (an increase from 76,000 deaths in 1990).

About 5.4 million basal and squamous cell cancers (the two most common types of skin cancer) are diagnosed each year in the U.S., and about 80% of those are basal cell cancers, the American Cancer ...
Risk factors include human papillomavirus (HPV), HIV/AIDS, receptive anal sex, [4] smoking, and many sexual partners. [1] Anal cancer is typically a squamous cell carcinoma. [3] Other types include adenocarcinoma, small cell carcinoma, and melanoma. [3] Diagnosis is suspected based on physical examination and confirmed by tissue biopsy. [1]
