Answers:
NO. Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) accounts for the majority of non-small cell lung cancer, other bronchial tree cancers, and cancers arising throughout the upper aerodigestive tract including the oral cavity, paranasal sinuses, pharynx, larynx, trachea, and esophagus. SCC is the second most common skin cancer. SCC arises at many other sites such as salivary gland, esophagus, bladder, penis, and the female genital tract.
Other Answers:
No. Most brain tumours are benign and don't go any where, and squamous cell carcinoma does not occur in the brain, simply coz there are no squamous cells in the brain to undergo malignant change.
