What is the life expectancy if diagnosed with Squamous cell carcinoma?I have done a little research but nothing has said anything about life expectancy after being diagnosed... what I have found out that it can more then likely come back even when the tumor has been removed fully.... does any one know anything will help my dad was just diagnosed today with it
It is behind his ear.... they said that they are going to go back in and make sure they got everything out
he was also told that he also had Solar Keratosis.....

it depends. every person reacts differently. don't worry about it. there are plenty of treatments nowadays that can treat/even cure these types of things.

Where was the carcinoma - skin, mouth, larynx, lung, etc. ? ?
Squamous cell carcinomas can occur in many areas.
The prognosis varies with each type.
If this was a skin cancer, almost all of them are cured with surgical removal. There are more than one million people with skin carcinomas each year in the USA. Many are squamous cell type. Almost all are cured with adequate excision.

Most (95%) of squamous cell tumors can be cured if removed promptly. New tumors may develop, so if you've had squamous cell cancer, have your skin regularly examined by your health care provider.
Metastatic disease is responsive to radiation therapy if metastases can be identified and are isolated. Widespread metastases do not respond well to chemotherapeutic regimens.
