Clinical and Pathologic Predictors of Recurrence and Survival in Spindle Cell Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Abstract

Patients with SpSCC are at high risk of developing locoregional recurrence, but no measured clinical or pathologic parameter was predictive of survival. Although overall survival is similar to that of patients with conventional SCC, closer follow-up should be considered in these patients to allow earlier detection and treatment of these locally aggressive tumors.
