Describe the causes, symptoms, treatment, and prevention methods of squamous cell carcinoma.
Squamous cell carcinoma is a skin cancer of the cells of the stratum spinosum. It results in a reddish-black elevated lesion, and has the capability of metastasizing, but it's not as malignant as melanoma. In order to treat it, doctors usually try to remove the lesion before it metastasizes to any other part of the body. Topical medication may be used as well. In order to prevent any kind of skin cancer, you should prevent long-term Sun exposure (especially to UVB rays) and apply sunscreen when you go out on a sunny day (not the case here :().
Correct! Your turn.

What surgery developed in the 1930s is the most effective treatment for skin cancer? Describe generally the procedure.

It was the Mohs surgery. This involves removing the visible skin cancer along with layers of adjacent skin and tissue. This undergoes microscopic examination. Also, maps are created to follow tumor extensions, and excisions are continued until no cancer cells are evident. The wound is then repaired to preserve as much form and function as possible.

Epiphyseal fracture? Occurs at the site of the epiphyseal plate (in children) because of its relative weakness compared to ligaments and joint connective tissues when a strong load is applied to a long bone. More specifically a Salter-Harris type I fracture.

How'd I do?

Couldn't you argue that the fracture is a greenstick fracture as well?
