Can facial squamous cell carcinoma have a subsequent link to brain cancer - if surgery was successfull ?

I think what you are asking is; If you had a skin cancer successfully removed from your face can it later metastasize to your brain? The answer is yes. A lot depends on the stage at diagnosis.





Brain cancer and skin cancer are two separate diseases and are not linked to one another.Can facial squamous cell carcinoma have a subsequent link to brain cancer - if surgery was successfull ?
No, SCC doesn't metastisize to the brain.


Google ';malignant squamous cell carcinoma'; and it will take you to a great article from the medical literature.Can facial squamous cell carcinoma have a subsequent link to brain cancer - if surgery was successfull ?
Go and ask your doctor
