Global Lip Cancer Clinical Trials Market Outlook: Ken Research
The report titled “Lip Cancer Global Clinical Trials Review H2 2017”, provides a comprehensive
analysis of lip cancer, causes, various treatments, Mohs micrographic surgery, leading players,
basics of clinical trials and phases, impact of lip cancer, modernization and evolution in medical
science will detect lip cancer at early stage in the coming years.
Lip Cancer Overview: Lip cancer is disruptive growth of cells which form injuries or tumors on
the lips. Lip cancer is also known as the most common type of oral cancer. It develop in thin,
flat cells known as squamous cells that line the lips, mouth, tongue, cheeks, sinuses, throat, and
hard and soft palates. Modern lifestyle choices, such as smoking, drinking, sun exposure, and
tanning, increase the risk of developing lip cancer. The first signs of lip cancer are noticed by the
dentists during any routine dental examination. If diagnosed early lip cancers are highly curable.
It was observed that more than 36,000 people globally are diagnosed with oral cancer every
year.
Factors, Symptoms, Available Treatments and Prevention of Lip Cancer: Major factors that
increase the risk for lip cancers include smoking or using tobacco products (cigarettes, cigars,
pipes, or chewing tobacco), heavy use of alcohol, exposure to direct sunlight (both natural and
artificial), including the use of tanning beds, over long periods, infection with human
papillomavirus (HPV), a sexually transmitted virus and above 40 years of age as well as cases of
immune-suppression. The symptoms of lip cancers are sore, lesion, blister, ulcer, or lump on
the mouth that does not go away, a red or white patch on the lip, bleeding or pain on the lips
and swelling of the jaw. The various treatments available for lip cancer are surgery, radiation
therapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, cryotherapy (freezing with liquid nitrogen) and gene
therapy. The treatment depends on the stage of the lip cancer and the size of the tumor.
Surgery is performed to remove if it is a small tumor. If the tumor is large or at a later stage,
radiation and chemotherapy treatments are used to shrink the tumor to reduce the risk of re-
ocurrence. Lip cancer can be prevented by avoiding all types of tobacco, alcohol intake, and
limiting exposure to both natural and artificial sunlight.
Mohs micrographic surgery is commonly used to treat lip cancer which involves removing thin
layers of skin tissue, which are then colour-coded, mapped, and microscopically examined. If
cancer cells are detected, more tissue from the affected area is removed and the process is
repeated until no more cancer can be found. This surgery offers the highest cure rate of any
treatment modalities for primary or recurrent lip tumors. Emergency treatment is
recommended for cases where lip cancer has spread and is known to interfere with the
function of a vital organ. Men are at a greater risk than women in occurrence of lip cancer. Lip
cancer diagnostic tests involve physical examination for sores, lumps or mouth ulcers. Biopsy,
X-rays and CT scans are also done to determine the spread of lip cancer. Other diagnostic tests
