what's "well defined" Squamous Cell ?

Squamous cell is considered invasive, because IT IS when not treated.
Well defined means, I believe, they think they have excised all the edges..... So that puts you into safer territory.... The dermatologist is your new buddy. Regular visits, early detection... Don't let growths go untreated. Squamous cell used to be thought to be not so bad... Not anymore. Get it off! Good luck

Well-defined refers to the lesion itself. If it is well-defined, it usually doesn't have the characteristics that encourage spread. My mother's doc told me that. My mother's grew huge, especially during COVID when I could not monitor, but the doc said it is shallow and well-defined.

Thanks to everyone who replied. I saw a surgeon. He believes I caught it early. I'm on chemo cream and will be checked every month for 3 months. Having cancer before,
Makes it scary. But my prognosis is good ✔
