Tongue cancer can occur in patients with chronic long-term glossitis. Initial symptoms are not obvious. When a neoplasm is discovered on the tongue, it is important to seek medical attention early, as early detection is crucial. Otherwise, the best opportunity for treatment may be lost. Early detection of tongue cancer should lead to surgical removal of the tumor focus. Surgery is the main method of treatment for tongue cancer. Since there may be lymph node metastasis, it is also necessary to clean the cervical lymph nodes during surgery. Additionally, the choice of radiotherapy and chemotherapy should be based on the clinical presentation of the tongue cancer to achieve effective treatment results.
