Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma metastatic to the axilla and groin: Outcomes and prognostic factors

Abstract

Purpose: This study examined the clinical outcomes and prognostic factors of patients with metastatic cutaneous SCC metastatic to the axilla and groin when managed with curative-intent lymphadenectomy and received (neo)adjuvant treatment. Methods and Materials: We conducted a single institution retrospective review. Patients who had nodal disease without distant spread were 18 years or older with no non-cutaneous primary identified. Results: From January 2000 to July 2015, 78 patients were treated for axilla (64, 82%) or inguinal (14, 18%) involvement with cSCC. The median age was 75.5 years (range: 29–95), and 8 patients (11%) were immunosuppressed. The median size of the largest node was 4..
