چکیده
Skin cancer represents the most prevalent malignancy worldwide, with non-melanoma skin cancer accounting for one third of all oncological cases in the USA. More specifically, cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) accounts for approximately 20% of all non-melanoma skin cancer cases with an estimate of over 700,000 new cases diagnosed yearly in the USA [1-2].
