[Epidermoid carcinoma of the lip. The contribution of surgery. Apropos of 429 cases].
The surgical treatment of epidermoid carcinoma of the lip too rarely resorts to pluri-disciplinary confrontation, although all the possible techniques, i.e. surgery, curietherapy and radiation therapy, are effective. Curietherapy still is the choice method for large lesions, due to the quality of its aesthetic and functional results. The lymph node areas of N0 patients are neglected but should not be so, because the secondary evolution of an adenopathy has a poor prognosis. All the T2 and T3 patients with no general contraindication should undergo cervical exploration.
