The study targets two goals: describing a demographic profile of lip cancer patients and examining correlations between tumor characteristics and reconstructive methods. Analysis of 26 patients showed predominantly female, urban patients with mean age 73.27±11.17 years, squamous cell carcinoma of the lower lip, mean diameter 1.52 cm, and mean depth 0.72 cm. Tumor factors—including affected area size, etiology and location, flap integration into relaxed skin tension lines, general condition, and cooperation degree—help guide reconstruction choice. Regardless of method, reconstruction aims to preserve lip functions in mastication, speech, and facial expression. Complex cases often require combined flap approaches, and multidisciplinary care supports better quality of life and recurrence

incidence of approximately 30% of all oral cavity neoplasms, lip cancer significantly impacts the patient quality of life (QoL). The frequent localization is in the lower lip, predominantly affecting men aged between 60–70 years old. The surgical treatment aims at aesthetic and functional reconstruction of the lip. The present study aims at defining a demographic profile of patients with lip cancer and at establishing correlations between tumor characteristics and reconstruction methods. The analysis of the group of 26 patients showed that the lip cancer patient was predominantly female, urban, with a mean age of 73 .27±11 . 17 years old, with squamous cell carcinoma of the lower lip, mean diameter of 1.52 cm and mean depth of 0.72 cm. The tumor characteristics revealed a guide of the decision on the method of lip reconstruction, considering the correlations between a variety of factors, including the size of the affected area, etiology and location of the formation, integration of the flap into the relaxed skin tension lines, the patient general condition, and the degree of cooperation. Regardless of the reconstructive method chosen, the aim is to preserve the functions of the lip in mastication, speech and definition of facial expression. Complex cases require extensive reconstructive interventions involving combinations of various types of flaps. Multidisciplinary management of these patients leads to improved QoL and prevention of recurrences.  \nKeywords: lip carcinoma, risk factors, lip pathology, reconstructive methods, quality of life.  \n􀀕 Introduction  \nLip cancer tends to become an increasingly important public health problem with a growing incidence globally, having a major impact on the patient’s quality of life (QoL) . In Europe, lip carcinoma has an incidence of 12%[1], with an overall prevalence of 1–2%[2]. Representing 25–30% of all oral cavity cancers, although some studies show a decrease in the incidence of these cases [3], it is the second most common in the hierarchy of head and neck skin cancers [4]. The most important risk factor for lip cancers is frequent and prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, favored and potentiated by other factors such as the residential environme","cbCaibQNXIau5JsG","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibQNXIau5JsG","pdf",2164409,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n## Risk factors and epidemiology of lip cancer\n## Sex differences and age distribution\n## Common tumor localization and histopathology\n## Treatment principles and reconstruction goals","[{\"question\":\"What is the main aim of the study on lip cancer reconstruction?\",\"answer\":\"To define patients’ demographic profiles and establish correlations between tumor characteristics and reconstruction methods for lip cancer.\"},{\"question\":\"Which tumor and patient factors guide the choice of reconstructive technique?\",\"answer\":\"Factors include the size of the affected area, etiology and location, flap integration into relaxed skin tension lines, patient general condition, and the degree of cooperation.\"},{\"question\":\"What functional goals does lip reconstruction prioritize?\",\"answer\":\"To preserve the lip’s functions in mastication, speech, and facial expression, regardless of the chosen reconstructive method.\"}]","Influence of the patient’s demographic profile and tumor characteristics on reconstructive techniques in lip cancers | PDF",1790163762,25]
