Description
Summary:Sixty‐six consecutive cases of carcinoma of the lower lip were seen at the Indiana University Hospitals from 1960 to 1972. Each patient's records were reviewed as to age, sex, race, stage, stage by treatment modality, pathology, treatment methods used and cause of failure. Early lip cancer represents a highly curative lesion whether treated by surgery or radiation therapy. Close followup is mandatory on all patients as the development of neck nodes, if discovered late, carries a grave prognosis. Advanced carcinoma of the lip can be successfully treated with current radiation therapy techniques using fractionated doses providing excellent cosmetic results.
