Core Tip

Core Tip: Simple squamous cell carcinoma of colorectal cancer is very rare, especially when it occurs in the sigmoid colon. Squamous colon cancer appears to have a worse prognosis than adenocarcinoma and there are no standard treatment options. The case also had liver metastases, which may also have some impact on the prognosis. We need more reports to understand its prognosis and treatment.
