SKUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA

Cancer is a serious threat to the health of our society because of the incidence and death rates continue to creep up. In the early decades of the 1950s, the main cause of death in the State China is an infectious disease, tuberculosis and neonatal diseases. Cancer only position to 9 or 10 as the cause of death. The survey results showed 70 decades the death rate from cancer has occupied the third position, the results of the final decades of the 80's survey showed the number of cancer deaths in urban areas reached 128.03 / 100,000 inhabitants, occupying 21.88% of all deaths, or top position among the various causes of death.1
In 2012, worldwide there were 14.1 million new cancer cases, 8.2 million cancer deaths and 32.6 million people living with cancer (within 5 years after diagnosis). Up to now, the cause of cancer is still unclear, various types of cancer has the particularity of each, are influenced by age, gender, ethnicity, lifestyle genetic background and many other factors.1
Carcinoma is a malignant growth that is derived from epithelial cells. Squamous Cell Carcinoma or Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a malignant skin tumor cells derived from keratinocytes epidermis.1 SCC is a common skin cancer cases no.2 after Basalioma, but SCC distant metastases can lead to death. Known 2 forms of intra-epidermal shape and invasive forms. Characteristics of malignancy based on the occurrence of aplasia, rapid growth, invasion to the local network and the ability to hold metastasis, squamous cell development faster and more often hold cell carcinoma metastasis compared basal.1,2
Skin is an organ thin wide. Thick skin varies between 0.5 to 1.5 mm depending on the location, age, nutrition, gender, and ethnicity. There is a thin skin on the eyelids, penis, labium minor, and the inside of the upper arm, whereas there is a thicker skin on the palms, soles of the feet, back and buttocks. Skin of the palms and soles of the feet does not contain sebaceous glands and hair. In adults, the skin surface area of ​​about 1.5-2 m2.2,3
In closing, the skin protects the body from mechanical trauma, radiation, chemical, and from infectious germs. Lactic acid in sweat and amini acid change results keratinization maintain the skin surface pH between 4-6 which will inhibit the growth of bacteria. However, some types of streptococci and staphylococci can still live commensal layer of keratin, hair estuary, and glands sebaseus.2,3,8
The skin also serves as the sense of touch because it contains sensory nerve endings in the dermis. Body temperature regulation function derived from the existence of two layers of dermis plexus of blood vessels that flow is regulated by the autonomic innervation. It also regulates the autonomic innervation of sweat gland function. Evaporation of sweat cools the skin. 2,3,8
The skin consists of three parts, namely the epidermis, basal membrane and dermis. The surface is called part of the papillary dermis. The basal membrane is a bulkhead between the dermis and epidermis, is formed of a special protein structure and function attaching kedermis epidermis. Damage due to mechanical trauma or genetic defect or disease in the synthesis of protein can cause the epidermis regardless of the dermis. 2,3,8
quamous cell carcinoma is the second most prevalent form of skin cancer after basal cell carcinoma, the frequency is increased in the skin that are often exposed to sunlight and in old age. The highest incidence in the age of 50-70 years, most often on the skin are in the tropics, and the incidence of 2-3 times more men than women, perhaps it is because men are more often exposed to sunlight.4,5Cancer growth is not confined to the organ where it came from growing, but can spread keorgan other organs in the body and almost no cancer can be cured spontaneously without treatment.2
Etiology of squamous cell carcinoma is multifactorial and is closely related to lifestyle and dietary habits in general (especially tobacco or tobacco in betel and alcohol use) although other factors such as infectious material, material damage carcinogen metabolism, damage enzymes that repair damaged DNA and the combination of these factors also play a role in the occurrence of squamous cell carcinoma.4,5,6
Factors that play a role in the occurrence of squamous cell carcinoma, namely:
a) Gene Mutation
Mutations in tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) that control cell growth is considered to be the etiology of squamous cel carcionoma. Identify changes in chromosomes DNA primarily chromosomes 3,9,11, and 17, respectively, which affects TSGs. TSGs functions to control growth. TSGs mutation can eliminate the growth control mechanisms. TSGs mutation may be associated with cytochrome P450 that play a role in carcinogenesis of squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity. As is the case with TSGs damage, cancer is also associated with damage to other genes that affect growth, especially that play a role in the delivery of the cells thereof are oncogenes, especially on chromosome 11 and chromosome genetic 17. Damage which includes a reduction of chromosomes 3,9,11 and 17 and play a role in inactivation of TSGs, especially P16 and TP53.8,9
b) Alcohol
Heavy alcohol user is a risk factor for oral cancer. Alcohol contains carcinogens or prokarsinogen, including contaminants of nitrosamines and urethane besides ethanol. Ethanol is metabolized by alcohol-dehydrogenase and by cytochrome P450 into acetaldehyde which is karsinogen.Alkohol dehidroginase oxidize ethanol to acetaldehyde which is cytotoxic and produces free radicals and DNA base hydroxylation. Cytochrome P450 can activate prokarsinogen environment. 8.9
c) Tobacco
Tobacco contain potential carcinogens include nitrosamines (nicotine, Polycylic aromatic hydrocarbons, nitrodicthanolamine, nitrosoproline and polonium. Tobacco smoke contains carbon monoxide, thicynate, hydrogen cyianide, nicotine and metabolites of this content. Activities gluatation S-transferase (GST) to be damaged, thereby reducing the capacity detoksikasi karsonogen tobacco. Smoking and other tobacco use way associated with 70-80% of cases of oral cancer. Smoking, heat generated, ingredients, and the pipes are factors that irritate the mucosa of the mouth. 8.9
d) Diet
Diets low in fruits and vegetables have contributed to the occurrence of cancer. Fruits and vegetables contain antioxidants which bind harmful molecules that cause gene mutations can prevent cancer. 8.9
e) infectious material
Herpes virus and papilloma virus can be found in some cases of squamous cell carcinoma. HPV is mainly a role in cancers of the oropharynx. 8.9
Squamous cell carcinoma usually occurs at age 40-50 years. The earliest lesions that occur are squamous epithelial dysplasia, with the heaviest forms of carcinoma in situ. At this stage may or may not be seen thickened white patches (leukoplakia). However, most invasive lesion with varying depths while in diagnosis. The degree of differentiation varies, mostly good differentiated.7,8
The main deployment is through the lymph carcinoma. Cervical lymph nodes affected early. Metastasis through blood vessels occurs in late phase.
Leukoplakia is a term for a lesion that looks flat, white in the mouth or genital mucous membranes. In most cases only a hyperkeratosis (thickening of the keratin layer) as a result of chronic irritation. On the other circumstances seem epithelial dysplasia, and is considered a precancerous lesion. Therefore, leukoplakia should settle biopsi.7
Squamous Cell Carcinoma clinically can be classified into two, namely: 2,5,8
1. Squamous Cell Carcinoma in situ (Bowen Carsinoma)
Squamous Cell Carcinoma is limited to the epidermis and occurs in a variety of skin lesions that have been there before as solar keratosis, chronic radiation keratosis, hydrocarbons keratosis, arsenic keratosis, cornua cutanea, bowen disease, and eritroplasia Queyrat. Squamous Cell Carcinoma in situ can settle in the epidermis Waku long-term and unpredictable. Can penetrate to the basal layer of the dermis and will metastasize through lymph node regional.6,7
2. Invasive Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Invasive Squamous Cell Carcinoma Squamous Cell can evolve from Carcinoma in situ and can also be of normal skin. Squamous Cell Carcinoma both emerging invasive Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the in situ, premalignant lesions or normal skin, usually in the form of small nodules with unclear boundaries, tinted the color of the skin or slightly erythematous. Its surface is soft at first, but over time evolved into verukosa or papillomatous. Ulceration usually appears at the center of the tumor, may happen sooner or later, often before tumors 1-2 cm in diametre. Tumor surface may be granular and bleed easily, while the edge of the ulcer is usually elevated and hardened and can be found crusting.
Histopathological malignancy grading according Borders squamous cell carcinoma by comparing cells that differentiate good and atypical, namely: 2,5,8
i. Gx: Grading differentiation can not be checked
ii. G1: well-differentiated more than 75% (well differentiated)
iii. G2: differentiate more between 50 -73%
iv. G3: differentiate more between 25-50% (poor differentiated)
v. G4: well-differentiated less than 25% (undifferentiated)
Speed ​​sequence invasive and metastatic squamous cell carcinoma are as follows:
1. The tumor that grows on the skin of normal (de novo): 30%
2. tumor preceded by precancerous abnormalities (radio dermatitis, cicatricial, ulcers, sinus fistula): 25%
3. Actinic keratosis: 2%
G. Clinical Stage
 Clinical stage in SCC determined based on AJCC TNM staging, 2008. SCC modifications can be divided into four stages, namely: 9
1. Stage I (T1 N0 M0)
2. Stage II (T2 N0 M0 or T3 N0 M0)
3. Stage III (T4 N0 M0 or Tany N1 M¬0)
4. Stage IVA (Tany Nany M1)
With criteria:
T1: tumor size ≤ 2 cm in the largest dimension
T2: Tumor size 2-5 cm in the largest dimension
T3: tumor size> 5 cm in the largest dimension
T4: Tumor invades ektradermal inner structure (eg, cartilage, muscle, or bone)
N0: No regional lymph nodes metastasis
N1: There are regional lymph nodes metastasis

M1: distant metastasis
