CCL5 is known to be increased in SCC compared to photodamaged skin, actinic keratosis, and intraepithelial carcinoma [7], but interestingly does not increase significantly when photodamaged skin is compared to actinic keratosis and intraepithelial carcinoma [7], suggesting that the expression of this chemokine is a relatively late event during SCC progression in humans [7]. Here, CCL5 is linked to actinic keratosis.
