title: Carcinoma of the lip.
abstract: Carcinoma of the lip represents the most common malignancy of the oral cavity with an incidence in the United States of approximately 1.8/100,000. Lip cancers represent 15% to 20% of all malignancies of the oral cavity. With increasing public awareness of the harmful effects of solar radiation, physicians need to be aware of the etiological factors as well as appropriate treatment plans to ensure that patients obtain the most favorable outcome possible.
