Current methods and caveats to risk factor assessment in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC): a narrative review.
Feb 2022
Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is the second most common form of skin cancer, and the number of deaths due to cSCC is estimated to be greater than the number attributed to melanoma.

Clinical utility of the 40-gene expression profile (40-GEP) test for improved patient management decisions and disease-related outcomes when combined with current clinicopathological risk factors for cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC): case series
Feb 2022
While improvements have been made to risk assessment of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) patients, there is a critical need for a uniform and more precise stratification system of their care.

Gene expression profiling for metastatic risk in head and neck cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma
Jan 2022
Over 50% of newly diagnosed cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) lesions occur in the head and neck (cSCC‐HN), and metastasis to nodal basins in this region further complicates surgical and adjuvant treatment.
