Squamous Cell Skin Cancer

What Causes Squamous Cell Skin Cancer?

To successfully treat and prevent recurrence of squamous cell skin cancer we need to understand and — if possible — remove the underlying causes and risk factors.  We need to ask: "What else is going on inside the body that might allow squamous cell skin cancer to develop?"

Diagnose your symptoms now!
  • understand what's happening to your body
  • see your health summarized and in detail
  • identify any nutritional deficiencies

Accurate diagnosis of the factors behind squamous cell skin cancer consists of three steps:

Step 1: List the Possible Causative Factors

Identify all disease conditions, lifestyle choices and environmental risk factors that can lead to squamous cell skin cancer.  Here are two possibilities:
  • Low DHEA
  • Cigarette Smoke Damage

Step 2: Build a Symptom Checklist

hair loss on lower legs
mood swings during menstrual cycle
reduced well-being during menopause
reduced underarm/pubic hair growth
major fatigue for over 12 months
reduced sense of smell
history of lung cancer
difficulty losing weight
recent moderate tobacco smoking
recently quitting smoking
low DHEA level
breast cancer
... and so on

Step 3: Rule Out or Confirm each Possible Cause

A differential diagnosis of your symptoms and risk factors finds the likely cause of squamous cell skin cancer:
Cause Probability Status
Cigarette Smoke Damage 99% Confirm
Low DHEA 58% Possible
* This is a simple example to illustrate the process
