A member asked:

Is a squamous cell something that forms squamous cell carcinoma?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not necessarily: Squamous cells are normal constituents of skin and some of the other linings, e.g., vagina. Squamous cells per se do not give rise to any cancer. Some cancer have squamous cell features.
