What Patients Say About Cancer Treatment at New Hope
What is Lip Cancer?
Beating a progressive disease starts with being armed with essential information.
Lip cancer is a type of head and neck cancer that occurs on the skin of the lips. This malignant disease, which develops from abnormal cells growing out of control and forming tumors on the lips, can appear anywhere along the upper or lower lip. The Skin Cancer Foundation notes that about 1 in 5 people will develop skin cancer during their lifetime, which includes the lips.
Lip Cancer Symptoms
Signs of lip cancer often include:
- A sore, lesion, lump, ulcer, or blister on the mouth that persists
- A red or white patch on the upper or lower lip
- Bleeding of the lips
- Pain on the lips
- Swelling of the jaw
For proper diagnosis and treatment, discuss any symptoms with your dentist or doctor.
Lip Cancer Causes and Risk Factors
According to the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, several cases of oral cancer are associated with:
- Tobacco use
- Heavy alcohol consumption
- Excessive and unprotected UV exposure, both natural and artificial
Furthermore, your behavior and lifestyle influence your risk of lip cancer. Aside from the aforementioned, the risk factors for lip cancer include:
- Having light-colored skin
- Infection with human papillomavirus (HPV)
- Being older than 40
If you have risk factors, discuss them with your dentist or doctor.
Testing for Lip Cancer
Early diagnosis is key to improving your lip cancer prognosis and life expectancy, as lip cancers are almost always curable when found early. Tests and procedures used in the diagnosis of lip cancer include:
- Physical exam of your lips and mouth
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan
- Computed tomography (CT) scan
