Your doctor will inform you of what type of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) you have had removed. The doctor will review you depending on the type of SCC you have. This includes the frequency and length of time for you to be monitored.
At each visit your doctor will check the area of your body where the tumour was removed from, as well as examining the nearest lymph glands to check for any sign of tumour cells having spread and formed a lump that can be felt. If a lump is found, cells can be sampled via a biopsy to see if they relate to your skin cancer.
