The pattern of lip cancer occurrence over the 1990–2011 period in public hospitals in Madrid, Spain

Abstract

The pattern of lip cancer reported to Public Hospitals of Madrid is changing: declining rates are noted since 2001-02. However, it is necessary to monitor these data to confirm the observed trends in future years.

Comparative analysis of three histologic grading methods for squamous cell carcinoma of the lip

“…The mean age of the patients was 65 years, similar to previous studies (dos Santos et al , ; Batista et al , ; Domínguez‐Gordillo et al , ; Pastuszek et al , ). In addition, lip SCC more commonly affects men (dos Santos et al , ; Vartanian et al , ; Batista et al , ; Salihu et al , ; Domínguez‐Gordillo et al , ; Pastuszek et al , ) and white patients (dos Santos et al , ; Batista et al , ). The fact that men work outdoors more frequently than women and are often subject to unprotected sun exposure probably explains the male predominance of this cancer.…”

“…Chronic exposure to UVB radiation can produce harmful effects such as skin (Lucas et al , ) and lip cancer (Batista et al , ). Lip SCC accounts for 95% of all malignant neoplasms in the lower lip (Domínguez‐Gordillo et al , ). The vermilion border of the lower lip is the preferred site involved (dos Santos et al , ; Batista et al , ; Moretti et al , ; Domínguez‐Gordillo et al , ).…”

“…Lip SCC accounts for 95% of all malignant neoplasms in the lower lip (Domínguez‐Gordillo et al , ). The vermilion border of the lower lip is the preferred site involved (dos Santos et al , ; Batista et al , ; Moretti et al , ; Domínguez‐Gordillo et al , ). In the present study, the vermilion border of the lower lip was the only location in all cases analyzed, probably because of its protrusion and consequently increased exposure to solar radiation (Scheinberg, ).…”

Clinicopathological study of lip cancer: a retrospective hospital‐based study in Taiwan

“…Epidemiological studies of lip cancer, especially for LSCC, have been reported in the United States , Canada , Finland , Italy , Japan , Turkey , Serbia , Mexico , Germany , and Spain , especially focusing on the clinicopathology and treatment modality. Some articles focused on outcome analysis , local recurrence, regional recurrence , distant metastasis , and prognostic factors .…”
