2. Squamous-cell carcinoma of the lung - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squamous-cell_carcinoma_of...

   Squamous-cell carcinoma of the lung is closely correlated with a history of tobacco smoking, more so than most other types of lung cancer.According to the Nurses' Health Study, the relative risk of SCC is approximately 5.5, both among those with a previous duration of smoking of 1 to 20 years, and those with 20 to 30 years, compared to never-smokers.

3. Squamous-cell carcinoma - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squamous-cell_carcinoma

   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 .

4. Lung cancer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lung_cancer

   NSCLCs comprise a group of three cancer types: adenocarcinoma, squamous-cell carcinoma, and large-cell carcinoma. [20] Nearly 40% of lung cancers are adenocarcinomas. [21] Their cells grow in three-dimensional clumps, resemble glandular cells, and may produce mucin. [20] About 30% of lung cancers are squamous-cell carcinomas.

   We've made massive strides against the deadly disease, but rates haven't fallen for people diagnosed with the disease who've never smoked.

6. Esophageal cancer - Wikipedia

   The two main types (i.e. squamous-cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma) have distinct sets of risk factors. [16] Squamous-cell carcinoma is linked to lifestyle factors such as smoking and alcohol. [19] Adenocarcinoma has been linked to effects of long-term acid reflux. [19] Tobacco is a risk factor for both types. [16]

7. Head and neck cancer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head_and_neck_cancer

   Squamous cell carcinoma is most likely to appear in males over 40 years of age with a history of heavy alcohol use coupled with smoking. [citation needed] All squamous cell carcinomas arising from the oropharynx, and all neck node metastases of unknown primary should undergo testing for HPV status. This is essential to adequately stage the ...

8. Non-small-cell lung cancer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-small-cell_lung_cancer

   Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), or non-small-cell lung carcinoma, is any type of epithelial lung cancer other than small-cell lung cancer (SCLC). NSCLC accounts for about 85% of all lung cancers. [1] [2] [3] As a class, NSCLCs are relatively insensitive to chemotherapy, compared to small-cell carcinoma.

9. Conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjunctival_squamous_cell...

   All squamous cell carcinoma lesions are thought to begin via the repeated, uncontrolled division of cancer stem cells of epithelial lineage or characteristics. Accumulation of these cancer cells causes a microscopic focus of abnormal cells that are, at least initially, locally confined within the specific tissue in which the progenitor cell resided.
