title: [Results of treatment of cancer of the lip].
abstract: A study was carried out in Sancti Spiritus Province in the 1984-1986 period about the results of the treatment of lip cancer. Male patients were the most affected by lip cancer (CIE 8-140) in our series. The place of the tumor was predominantly the lower lip (p less than or equal to 0.001). Surgical treatment was used in 96.8% of the cases and the cuneiform (wedge-shaped) exeresis was the most commonly used method in the early stages of the disease (T1 y T2). Castañón keloplasty was the reconstructive procedure used in 18.7% of the patients. Local sepsis was present in 31.2% of the patients undergoing surgery, occurring most frequently in upper lip tumors.
