A cc means cubic centimeter (also abbreviated as cm3) and is commonly used in the medical and automotive fields. 1 cc is equivalent to 1 milliliter (ml or mL), which is why it is often used in medicine (perhaps because saying 'cc' is less likely to be misinterpreted than saying 'ml' or milliliter.

A unit generally refers to either a number of arbitrary things or, in medicine for example, a unit refers to a number of something that has a predetermined dose, size, or volume.

For example, asking for 20 cc's of saline solution will specifically get you 20 milliliters of saline, whereas there are probably standard doses of saline which are referred to as 'units', so you could ask for a unit of saline.
