Chemoradiotherapy could improve overall survival of patients with stage IV cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma: analysis of 34 cases

Abstract

Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is the second most common non‐melanoma skin cancer, comprising approximately 20% of all skin malignancies1. The prognoses of patients with unresectable disease, such as locally advanced tumour or distant metastases, are known to be relatively poor due to lack of effective standardized systemic therapies2,3. When surgery is not feasible, non‐surgical approaches such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy (RT), and chemoradiotherapy (CRT; chemotherapy with radiation), are considered as alternative treatments2.
