Screening
Since Squamous cell carcinoma is almost always cured without specified screening no studies have shown that such screening will improve the already high cure rates for this type of skin carcinoma. For carcinoma of prostrate, prostrate specific antigen (PSA) is often used for diagnosis. Squamous cell carcinoma of prostrate is very aggressive in nature. It is difficult to detect as there is no increase in prostate specific antigen levels seen; meaning that the cancer is often diagnosed at an advanced stage.
