Erlotinib in Treating Patients With Recurrent or Metastatic Skin Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Summary

This phase II trial studies how well erlotinib works in treating participants with skin squamous cell carcinoma that has spread to other places in the body or has come back. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as erlotinib, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading.
