The different types of radiation therapy used to treat squamous cell carcinoma are: Superficial radiation therapy: Beams of radiation are directed just beneath the skin, which treats only the tumor. External beam radiation therapy: High-energy beams of radiation are sent into the tumor in order to kill cancer cells.
