Squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix
Updates to Article Attributes
Body
was changed:
Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the cervix is the most common histological sub type in cervical cancer and accounts for 80-90% of cases.
Pathology
Most cervical squamous cell carcinomas grow at the squamo-columnarsquamocolumnar junction (SCJ). In younger women, the SCJ is located outside the external uterine os, and the tumour tends to grow outward (exophytic growth pattern). In elderly patients, the SCJ is located within the cervical canal and the cancer tends to grow inward along the cervical canal (endophytic growth pattern).
