ReferencesSquamous cell carcinoma (SCC) 是美國第二常見的皮膚癌，僅次於 basal cell carcinoma。它通常起始於稱為 actinic keratosis 的癌前病變，並可能擴散至身體其他部位。主要危險因素是長期暴露於太陽的紫外線 (UV) 輻射，這種輻射會隨時間累積。治療多以手術切除為主，尤其是位於頭部和頸部的鱗狀細胞癌。對於年長或無法接受手術的患者，可考慮放射治療。免疫抑制會增加鱗狀細胞癌的風險。雖然較少見，但鱗狀細胞癌仍可能轉移，特別是在免疫功能低下的患者中。定期檢查與防曬對 SCC 患者尤為重要。
Squamous cell carcinoma of the skin or cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma is the second most common form of skin cancer in the United States, behind basal cell carcinoma. Squamous cell carcinoma has precursor lesions called actinic keratosis, exhibits tumor progression and has the potential to metastasize in the body. Ultraviolet (UV) solar radiation is the primary risk factor in the development of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma and the cumulative exposure received over a lifetime plays a major part in the development of this cancer. Surgical excision is the primary treatment modality for cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, with Mohs micrographic surgery being the preferred excisional technique for squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, and in other areas of high risk or squamous cell carcinoma with high-risk characteristics. Radiation therapy is reserved for squamous cell carcinoma in older patients or those who will not tolerate surgery, or when it has not been possible to obtain clear margins surgically. Adjuvant radiotherapy is commonly after surgical treatment in very high tumors. Immunosuppression significantly increases the risk of squamous cell carcinoma over the course of an individual’s life. Metastasis is uncommon for squamous cell carcinomas arising in areas of chronic sun exposure, but it can take place, and the risk is increased in immunosuppressed patients. Patients with cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma should be examined regularly and remember to use measures to protect from UV damage.

Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) 是人類第二常見的癌症，且發生率持續上升。雖然 CSCC 通常呈現良性臨床行為，但它可能局部侵襲並轉移至身體其他部位。科學家已確定與 CSCC 發展相關的特定途徑，從而開發出新的治療策略。免疫抑制患者因突變負荷高且風險增加，促進了免疫療法的發展。本綜述聚焦於 CSCC 的遺傳根源，以及針對特定分子和免疫系統的最新治療方法。
Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) is the second most frequent cancer in humans and its incidence continues to rise. Although CSCC usually display a benign clinical behavior, it can be both locally invasive and metastatic. The signaling pathways involved in CSCC development have given rise to targetable molecules in recent decades. In addition, the high mutational burden and increased risk of CSCC in patients under immunosuppression were part of the rationale for developing the immunotherapy for CSCC that has changed the therapeutic landscape. This review focuses on the molecular basis of CSCC and the current biology-based approaches of targeted therapies and immune checkpoint inhibitors
