The authors are presenting the 5-year survival rates of 170 patients treated for carcinoma of the lip at the radiological department of the Medical University in Debrecen. The results of radiation therapy, clarified and stage-correlated, are as follows: T1 100%, T2 90.2%, T3 67.9%. They call attention to the fact that in planning and carrying out the schedule of radiation treatment its effectiveness is stage-dependent. In radiation treatment applied in conformity with this, the basic laws of radiation therapy have to be observed. In the treatment of Stages T1 the optimal added-up radiation effectiveness lies at 2000 to 2500 reu with Chaoul tubes 1 and 2, for Stages T2 at 2300 to 2600 reu with Chaoul tubes 3 and 4, for Stages T3 at 2500 to 2600 reu with Chaoul tubes 3, 6 or 10 and additional telecobalt irradiation of the corresponding lymphatic chains.
