Retrospective cohort study assesses survival disparities in lip cancer by tumor stage and race, highlighting significant mortality differences.

Localized lip tumors significantly reduce cancer-specific death risk by 94% compared to distant metastasis, showing the impact of staging.
Among 4,273 lip cancer cases, survival rates varied greatly, with median survival times of 97 months for localized versus 18 months for regional spread.
Cox proportional hazards regression revealed that race and tumor stage are crucial for survival, overshadowing histologic grade effects.
Data highlights the need for improved registry information to better understand survival disparities, especially among underrepresented groups.

Taqi et al. (2025) studied this question.
