title: [Treatment of the early stages of cancer of the lower lip].
abstract: 464 patients with the lower lip cancer were treated; stage I--in 292, stage II--in 150, stage III and IV--in 22 patients. The vast majority of patients in the stage I and II were given close focal roentgenotherapy on the primary focus. 123 Wanakh operations for the stage I revealed metastases in lymph nodes in 2 patients, 113 Wanakh operations for the stage II showed metastases in 9 cases. The clinical recovery for a 3-year period was noted in 99.4% of cases in stage I without the Wanakh surgery, for a 5-year period--in 92.7%. In the stage II without the surgery the clinical recovery for a 3-year period was noted in 93.8%, for up to 5 years--in 92.7%. In the stage I the Wanakh surgery should be denied, and in the stage II the combination therapy to a full extent is recommended.
