Specializes in Pathology

Most likely yes: Squamous cell carcinoma is one of the most common skin cancers, depending on stage of diagnosis and location it could be treated with surgery or radiation. Usually is very susceptible to radiotherapy. Talk to your doctor for more details regarding your specific case.
