I have a small nodule on end of my nose. It has now grown to About 1 cm. It's been there a long time. Maybe as much as 2 years. I just had a biopsy a week ago confirming squamous cell.

Answer: How quickly does SCC grow While SCC is a diagnosis, there are also types of SCCs that are more infiltrative than others, so those can grow faster and deeper. It's not necessary to know which one you have for treatment purposes. The most important thing to know is that you DO have confirmed SCC and now you need to get treatment for it. Once I know a patient has a confirmed skin cancer, we try to get them their appointment to resolve it within 2 months. There's no point in delaying it further and letting it grow.
