Electrocardiogram

Electrocardiogram is a commonly performed test for persons who have recently been diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma, however it does not have much diagnostic importance. The reason to do an EKG is to evaluate the patient for significant cardiac comorbidities that may impact their ability to undergo anesthesia in a case where surgery may be needed. Any significant findings on EKG should be further evaluated before the patient can undergo surgery.
