Squamous cell carcinoma is a cancer of the skin. Exposure to sunlight is one trigger-factor for this cancer and it is seen more commonly in white cats, and cats kept in hot, sunny countries. The tumour commonly affects the nose or the ears and can initially look like a small scratch or wound that won't heal. Spread (metastasis) of these tumours is uncommon but local lymph nodes are sometimes affected. Squamous Cell Cancer could therefore be seen as an end result of a systemic and prolonged assault on blood and the immune sytem in general.
Squamous Cell Carcinoma is best treated with a combination of internal and external herbs. The additional internal mix we recommend is Maritime Pine bark and for external use, SCC Ointment and SCC External Oil.
Dosage 5 drops twice daily with a strong smelling food such as sardines.
