The surgical treatment of epidermoid carcinoma of the lip too rarely resorts to pluri-disciplinary confrontation, although all the possible techniques, i.e. surgery, curietherapy and radiation therapy, are effective. Curietherapy still is the choice method for large lesions, due to the quality of its aesthetic and functional results. The lymph node areas of N0 patients are neglected but should not be so, because the secondary evolution of an adenopathy has a poor prognosis. All the T2 and T3 patients with no general contraindication should undergo cervical exploration.

Purpose: Carcinogenesis is characterized by the transformation of normal cells into malignant cells. Concerning the lower lip, exposure to UV radiation is the main etiological factor associated with the development of epidermoid carcinomas and actinic cheilitis. According to the hierarchical model theory, cancer development is driven by populations of cancer stem cells.

Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is an uncommon aggressive neoplasm, usually arising in sun-exposed skin of the head and neck. By immunohistochemistry, KRT20 and MCPyV positivity are found in about 90% and 80% of MCCs, respectively. Noteworthy, viral status in lip/oral cavity MCCs is poorly known.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical outcomes of surgical and non-surgical treatments for actinic cheilitis (AC) over a four-decade period and to introduce a novel Clinical Index for the Treatment and Control of Actinic Cheilitis (CITC-AC) for improved patient stratification and management.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective cohort study analyzed 151 patients diagnosed with AC treated at a university clinic between 1980 and 2020. Sociodemographic, clinical, and histopathological data were collected.
