Abstract

At the meeting of this Association in New Orleans, 1920, I presented a paper before this Section,1 "A Clinical Study of Epithelioma of the Lower Lip," in which I considered more especially the pathologic anatomy and clinical classification of epithelioma of the lower lip, as observed and recorded in the private practice of my associate, Dr. M. M. Roland, and myself. In this paper, I mentioned only briefly the technic of treatment and results. Today, I am presenting to you briefly our technic of treatment by roentgen ray and radium of 248 consecutive cases of cancer of the lip which have occurred in our private practice from Jan. 1, 1909, to Dec. 31, 1921.
