A retrospective review of 361 patients with carcinoma of the lip seen between 1971 and 1976 was performed. There were 348 squamous cell and 13 basal cell carcinomas. The lower to upper lip ratio was 15:1 and the male to female ratio 12:1. The median ages for men and women were 64 and 71 years. The tumors were not staged but four had regional metastases when diagnosed. The primary tumor was controlled by surgery in 76/85 (89%) patients, by surgery and radiation combined in 65/70 (93%) patients, and by radiation alone in 193/206 (94%) patients. Altogether 24 (6.5%) patients developed cervical node metastases and these were controlled in 20 (83%). Tumor related deaths occurred in 11 (3%) patients and the five year cause specific survival rate was 97%.
对1971年至1976年间收治的361例唇癌患者进行了回顾性研究。其中有348例鳞状细胞癌和13例基底细胞癌。下唇与上唇的比例为15:1,男性与女性的比例为12:1。男性和女性的中位年龄分别为64岁和71岁。肿瘤未进行分期,但有4例在确诊时已有区域转移。85例患者中的76例(89%)通过手术控制了原发肿瘤,70例患者中的65例(93%)通过手术联合放疗控制了原发肿瘤,206例患者中的193例(94%)仅通过放疗控制了原发肿瘤。共有24例(6.5%)患者发生颈部淋巴结转移,其中20例(83%)得到控制。11例(3%)患者出现肿瘤相关死亡,五年病因特异性生存率为97%。
