By Yolanda Smith, BPharm. Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a health condition involving the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the skin outer squamous cells of the epidermis. It occurs as a result of keratinization of the epidermal cells and has the potential to metastasize to other regions of the body.kin cancers have a higher incidence than any other type of cancer that continues to rise, despite knowledge and public health campaigns about their prevention. Squamous cell carcinoma is the second most common type of skin cancer, after basal cell carcinoma.
