Associated Genetic Biomarkers
Overview
NCI Definition: A carcinoma arising from the squamous cells of the epidermis. Skin squamous cell carcinoma is most commonly found on sun-exposed areas. The majority of the tumors are well-differentiated. [1]
Skin squamous cell carcinomas most frequently harbor alterations in TP53, NOTCH1, CDKN2A, KMT2D, and ROS1 [2].
TP53 Mutation, TP53 Missense, TP53 c.217-c.1178 Missense, NOTCH1 Mutation, and KMT2D Mutation are the most common alterations in skin squamous cell carcinoma [2].
