Cancer and Skin Lesions

Cancer of the lip is uncommon in males and rare in females. In 1991, 138 cases of cancer of the lip were diagnosed among men, representing 0.7% of all male cancer. The corresponding figures for women were 44 cases and 0.2%, respectively. The age-standardized incidence rate has decreased from around 5 per 100 000 in the early 1960’s to 3.1 per 100 000 in 1991. The corresponding figures for females, where a slight increase can be seen, were 0.2 per 100 000 in 1961 and 0.7 per 100 000 in 1991
