Lip Cancer

As a rule, it is located on the lower lip, more often in men. The precursor is often a long non-healing crack, which later acquires the appearance of an ulcer that bleeds easily. At the same time there is an infiltrate, which tends to spread, because of what the lip increases in size. Its mobility is limited. The tumor eventually metastasizes to the bone of the lower jaw. Her cells are transported by lymph into the chin and submandibular lymph nodes. They increase, become inactive. Progression of the process leads to the emergence of new malignant lesions in the lymph nodes of different parts of the patient's body.
Early recognition and treatment lead to the most favorable results.
It is necessary at the first sign (non-healing lip crack or tumor formation in its thickness) to immediately consult a dental surgeon or oncologist.
