Squamous cell carcinoma symptoms can be unnoticeable (also called asymptomatic), however, if you notice unusual changes to your skin, especially those that last longer than two weeks, it’s important to get screened. Having signs or symptoms does not necessarily mean you have squamous cell carcinoma, but if you are diagnosed with the disease and it is detected early, it is highly treatable and curable.
One of the signs of squamous cell carcinoma is a bump on the skin that is reddish or brownish and can be scaly, itchy or painful. It can also appear as a sore that doesn’t heal. If you notice any change in the appearance of your skin, check with your primary care doctor or dermatologist.
At Miami Cancer Institute, our internationally recognized skin cancer specialists have formed a multidisciplinary team to provide you with the most advanced screenings and comprehensive diagnostics available today – all under one roof and all conveniently located in South Florida.
Our goal is to diagnose and treat skin cancer lesions and evolving skin cancers in the earliest stages when they can be treated (and often cured) in a comfortable, state-of-the-art outpatient setting.
When you’re screened at Miami Cancer Institute, our multidisciplinary experts use a variety of personalized tests depending on what’s right for you. This can include:
We also offer convenient same-day appointments with all members of the multidisciplinary team to design and deliver a personalized, comprehensive care plan for each patient.
