abstract: The subject of this study is methods and results of treatment of 21 cases of lip cancer between 2007 and 2012, which included 15 men and 6 women, aged 48-63. In 18 cases it was squamous cell carcinoma, in other 3 basocellulare carcinoma. Of the hospitalized patients the following clinical stages were found: T1 - five, T2 - five, T3 - seven, T4 - four. We operated with several techniques, we performed: V-incision and surgery according to the Webster - one patient, Rutkowski - four, Estlander - four, Karpandzic - three; in the treatment of cancer of upper lip the frontal flap was used. Fourteen patients underwent selective or modified lymph node operation. Five patients appeared local recurrence, 3 of them died due to metastases to multiply organs. Six operated patients did not continue oncological treatment, their subsequent fate is unknown. The remaining 10 patients remained under observation. The results indicate the need of extensive resection of the limph node in case of recurrence and the necessity of implementing selective or radical nodal surgery in the early stages of cancer.
