Is this 20% of non-melanoma skin cancer, is it 20% of skin cancers period? -- Toby Bartels 09:47, 1 Jun 2004 (UTC)

The former. It's hard to get an absolute incidence on melanoma, but it accounts for up to 80% of deaths from skin cancer...not because it's that much more common, but because it's that much more deadly. This is improving with the use of vaccination as treatment. But skin cancers are always discussed as "melanomas" and "non-melanotic skin cancers" because of their different implications for treatment and prognosis, and because they are not likely to be confused with each other. It's non-melanoma skin cancer that's 20% SCC and 80% BCC - Nunh-huh 10:04, 1 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Source of US cases per year was Skin Care foundation website, http://www.skincancer.org/squamous/index.php Carax 03:00, 3 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I wanted to make a site available on the external links page with some good medical images of SCC - I wanted to run this by the discussion group first. Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) Burrills99 14:30, 23 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

terms

What does "Squamous" mean?

Squamous means "flat" or "scaly" and refers to the cells on the outer layer of the skin (the epidermis) (From websters dictionary) Burrills99 14:27, 23 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

picture

can someone remove the last picture on Bronchus cell carcinoma? Seriously, it's worse than Goatse. 147.252.65.67 15:36, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well... There is an intermediate solution between removing and keeping. I have restored it as a link, so it will be only displayed if requested. Please note that Wikipedia is not censored, i.e: "some articles may include objectionable text, images, or links if they are relevant to the content (...) and do not violate any of our existing policies (...) nor the law of the U.S. state of Florida, where Wikipedia's servers are hosted."

For example, some articles contain graphical depictions of violence, or depictions of human anatomy." Rjgodoy 21:21, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

P for pathologist

I like how Pathologist in the text has a capital "P". I wonder what the author of the article thinks about dermatologists. (I am only jesting.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.34.52.13 (talk) 04:14, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
