Squamous Cell Carcinoma Updates for the Dermatologist

A practical 2026 update on how immunotherapy is moving across the CSCC disease continuum—and how response may increasingly shape what comes next.

This presentation focuses on the changes most likely to affect dermatology practice now: adjuvant therapy after definitive local treatment, emerging response-guided strategies designed to reshape subsequent surgery or radiation, and the movement of immunotherapy into earlier disease.

Three themes

01

Adjuvant therapy becomes real

C-POST establishes a postoperative role for cemiplimab in a selected, very-high-risk CSCC population.

02

Response starts to guide care

De-Squamate, MATISSE, and FIRST move beyond measuring response toward adapting subsequent local treatment.

03

Immunotherapy moves earlier

CLEAR-CSCC and related studies test whether systemic or intralesional immunotherapy can challenge surgery as the automatic first step for selected disease.
