Is there such thing as lip cancer?

Yes, lip cancer is a real type of cancer that can affect the lips. It most commonly occurs on the lower lip, but in rare cases, the upper lip can also be affected. Lip cancer develops due to abnormal changes and uncontrolled growth of cells on the lip. Several factors contribute to an increased risk of lip cancer, including prolonged exposure to the sun's ultraviolet (UV) radiation, tobacco use, alcohol consumption, genetic factors, certain infections, and a personal or family history of lip cancer.
