Abstract

The lip cancers refer to the cancers occurred in the lip vermilion mucosa (the exposed lip vermilion mucosa when the lips are naturally closed) and the joint mucosa in the corner of the mouth (within the range of 1 cm backward from the oral fissure). The cancers occurred in the inner side of the lip mucosa belong to the category of buccal mucosa carcinoma. The vast majority of cancers occurred in the lip vermilion mucosa are squamous cell carcinomas, and most of them are better differentiated; a small part of lip cancers are the basal cell carcinomas, which are caused due to the fact that the lip skin is invaded, and the adenocarcinoma is rarely seen.
