Lip and intra-oral cancers are rare in Singapore, primarily affecting the buccal mucosa and tongue. This study analyzed 69 cases, finding squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in 85.5%, with smoking and betel nut use as key risk factors.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Plastic Surgery
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Lip and intra-oral cancers represent less than 1.5% of all cancers in Singapore.
  • The Singapore General Hospital's Department of Plastic Surgery has managed head and neck tumors since 1984.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the distribution, demographics, risk factors, and treatment of lip and intra-oral cancers.
  • To focus discussion on squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) due to small numbers of other types.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective study analyzing 69 cases of lip and intra-oral cancers.
  • Data collected included patient demographics, risk factors, and cancer types.

Main Results:

  • Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) accounted for 85.5% (59 cases) of the analyzed lip and intra-oral cancers.

  • Predisposing factors such as smoking, alcohol consumption, and betel nut chewing were identified in patients with buccal mucosa and tongue cancers.

    • Conclusions:

    • Squamous cell carcinoma is the predominant type of lip and intra-oral cancer in this Singaporean cohort.
    • Lifestyle factors including smoking, alcohol, and betel nut use are significant risk factors for these cancers.
