Personalized treatment approaches that take into account the unique characteristics of individual tumors have emerged as a promising strategy to improve treatment outcomes and patient survival.

• Understanding Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma (cSCC) is a type of skin cancer that arises from the malignant transformation of squamous cells in the epidermis or its appendages. It encompasses a spectrum of disease presentations, ranging from localized lesions to metastatic tumors with varying clinical behaviors.
• Tumor Heterogeneity and Molecular Subtypes: Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma (cSCC) exhibits considerable heterogeneity at the molecular level, with distinct genetic alterations and signaling pathways driving tumor progression and metastasis. Molecular subtyping studies have identified different subgroups of cSCC tumors based on their genomic profiles, providing insights into tumor diversity and potential therapeutic targets.
• Precision Medicine in cSCC Treatment: Precision medicine approaches aim to tailor treatment strategies to the specific molecular characteristics of individual tumors, allowing for more targeted and effective therapies. By identifying actionable mutations or biomarkers, clinicians can select therapies that are most likely to benefit patients while minimizing the risk of treatment-related toxicities.
• Genomic Profiling and Biomarker Identification: Advances in genomic sequencing technologies have enabled comprehensive profiling of cSCC tumors, revealing recurrent mutations in genes involved in cell cycle regulation, DNA repair, and immune evasion. Biomarker identification efforts seek to identify predictive markers of treatment response and prognosis, guiding treatment decisions in personalized medicine.
