A member asked:

What does squamous cell in blood test means? does it means cancer or is it normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Endothelium: In the blood, these are usually the cells that line the inside of the blood vessels. It's from an unlucky venipuncture. If your physician is not concerned, you should not be either.
