What are the early symptoms of tongue cancer? These 3 clinical manifestations are very common

Tongue cancer is actually one of the malignant tumors we call, so we need to have a detailed understanding of the early symptoms. One of the simplest early symptoms is white patches, which are the easiest to distinguish. There is also a rough crater symptom, which is easier to confuse with ulcers. However, the most substantial symptom of tongue cancer is the hard lump at the bottom, which is quite obvious. Therefore, we must have a deep understanding of these symptoms to detect the disease at the earliest stage.

Under normal circumstances, if people often have ulcers in their mouths, they should pay attention to it. This kind of frequently occurring symptom must be related to the lesions inside our body. Especially for tongue cancer, we must understand and distinguish it. Therefore, we must understand the early symptoms of tongue cancer. Only by mastering the concurrent manifestations of tongue cancer can we discover and treat it in time. Let's learn about the early symptoms of tongue cancer.

The early symptoms of tongue cancer generally include the following:
1. The affected area is a white patch . In the early stage of this disease, the patient will have symptoms on the tongue, and some white patchy tissue will grow. This white tissue is very small at first, and looks like oral ulcers at first, but this cancer will grow slowly and will not recover without treatment. Therefore, if the patient has such slowly growing white patches, he should be checked as soon as possible.
2. Rough crater-shaped ulcers <br/>In the early stages of this disease, there will be a condition similar to oral ulcers, but the appearance is very rough, and the edges are open like cauliflower. These are not very flat surface lesions. Patients can clearly feel this rough surface lesion with their tongue. The location of this lesion is also relatively abnormal, appearing on the top of the tongue and at the tip of the tongue. Because the location of this cancer is also abnormal, it should be taken seriously by patients.

3. The patient will have swelling and it will hurt when talking . Another early manifestation is that the lesion is a lump. The inside of this lump is very hard. It is a basic cancer lesion. If we touch the tongue when we talk, we will feel a swollen pain. It is also easy to distinguish from ordinary oral ulcers. You can judge whether it is cancer or ulcer by touching the hardness of the lesion base. Other diseases will not have lumps, only cancerous tissues will have the feeling of lumps.
