Dental examinations should routinely include examination of the lips by visual inspection and palpation. The primary risk factor for lip cancer is actinic damage. Squamous cell carcinoma of the lip accounts for about nine per cent of all oral cancers, but there has been a downward trend in the number of cases reported from 1973 to 1984. This trend may be due to the increased use of sunscreens. The clinical presentation and management of lip cancer are discussed.
牙科检查应常规包括通过视诊和触诊对嘴唇进行检查。唇癌的主要危险因素是光化性损伤。唇鳞状细胞癌约占所有口腔癌的9%,但1973年至1984年报告的病例数量呈下降趋势。这种趋势可能归因于防晒霜使用的增加。本文讨论了唇癌的临床表现和治疗。
