Men, watch out for lip cancer!
Bipin Bhardwaj

Chandigarh, January 21
Lip cancer constitutes almost 15 per cent of head and neck cancers. The problem has aggravated in this part of the region in past couple of years.
Experts are of the view that 33 per cent of all cancers are head and neck related, making such cancers a potential threat.
Lip cancer very rarely spreads to organs like lungs and liver, unlike head and neck cancer. In this, major complications arise by way of invasion in the oral cavity and involvement of lymph nodes in the neck, feel experts. With 87 per cent occurrences of lip cancer among males, doctors believe that this can be considered a fairly dreaded disease. It often occurs due to excessive use of tobacco, heavy alcohol consumption and syphilis, a sexually transmitted disease. Being an age-related diseases, lip cancer generally occurs after the age of 40 and is seldom taken seriously, opines Dr Shivpreet Singh Samra, a cancer expert. He, however, suggests that symptoms for lip cancer should not be ignored. These include ulcers, papules or wounds on the lip. An endoscopic examination of oral cavity along with a CT scan of the neck is required (in advanced stage), he says. Doctors claim that sophisticated and advanced cancer treatment therapies by surgical and radiation procedure have shown a ray of hope for lip cancer patients. Cancer surgeons, however, agree that though treatment by surgery and radiotherapy is available, the latter does not offer 100 per cent results. Surgery has proven to be a more effective treatment. With 80 to 90 per cent accuracy, radiotherapy treatment for lip cancer has shown to cause considerable morbidity than surgery. Only practically impossible surgical situation in select cases do actually call for radiotherapy as far as lip cancer is concerned.
