Does squamous cell skin cancer itself cause fatigue?

Not talking about the treatment - but the cancer itself?
Most cancers are said to but for skin cancer - I don't really find that.

  1. ...That is a really great question. I don't know that I have seen mention of fatigue related specifically to squamous cell carcinoma. However, I can see general fatigue being associated with SCC due to the anxiety and stress of dealing with the condition itself.

    I did a little research and came up with this article from the Mayo Clinic. I don't know that it answers your question entirely, but it might be a good starting point.
