Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to present the descriptive epidemiology of lip cancer in Scotland. The incidence and mortality of lip cancer are found to be higher in men than in women and to have fallen remarkably among men. This decline has been the result of cohort effects indicating that the risk of lip cancer is decreasing among successively younger people.
