Abstract
Sixty-six cases of carcinoma of the lower lip were seen at the Indiana University Hospitals from 1960-1972. 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 in 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.
