Early symptoms of tongue cancer

Early stage tongue cancer is classified by growth pattern. The early symptoms of tongue cancer are divided into three types: ulcerative, exophytic and infiltrative. Ulcerative type refers to large-area oral ulcers. The damage to the oral mucosa is delayed and unhealed, accompanied by obvious pain.

The exophytic type refers to the presence of cauliflower-like foreign bodies on the tongue, which may be accompanied by infection or even necrosis. The infiltrative type is mainly manifested as a hardened lump, which can also cause ear pain on one side and the patient's saliva will increase.

If the patient's oral ulcers do not heal for a long time and a lump can be felt on the tongue, this may be cancer, so go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible. When the condition worsens, the motor function of the tongue will be affected, and obvious swallowing difficulties, limited movement, and unclear language expression will occur.

The early symptoms of tongue cancer can be roughly divided into three types: ulcerative, exophytic, and infiltrative. The ulcerative type refers to large-area oral ulcers. The damage to the oral mucosa is delayed and unhealed, and oral ulcers recur repeatedly, accompanied by obvious pain. The exophytic type refers to the presence of cauliflower-like foreign bodies on the tongue, which may be accompanied by infection and even necrosis. The infiltrative type is mainly manifested as a hardened lump, which can also cause ear pain on one side, and the patient's saliva will also increase.
