Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the second most common form of nonmelanoma skin cancer. In this issue of Cancer Cell, Ehrenreiter et al. unveil a critical role for the Raf-1/Rok-alpha interaction in the pathogenesis of SCCs, thus paving the way for the development of therapeutic modalities to treat this malignancy.
