Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is the second most common human skin tumor. In recent years, the incidence of cSCC is increasing annually. Although most cSCC is curable after basic treatment, the advanced cSCC progresses rapidly and poses a significant risk for the impact on quality of life and death. In 2017, the latest version of cSCC management guideline was developed by the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) based on extensive evidence-based medical evidence, including cSCC biopsy techniques, histopathological assessment, clinical staging and grading, surgical and nonsurgical treatment, follow-up, recurrence prevention, and management of the advanced cSCC. The purpose of this article is to briefly introduce and interpretate this guideline.
