How to recover from tongue cancer? What are the treatments for tongue cancer?

Tongue cancer should be treated with surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, etc. Postoperative care should be done to promote recovery, and regular check-ups should be conducted to avoid recurrence of the disease.

1. Active treatment

Tongue cancer should be treated promptly. Treatment of tongue cancer includes surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, etc. If the tumor grows on the side of the tongue and is small, surgical removal can be chosen and close observation can be performed.

If the tumor is large, hemiglossectomy and neck lymph node dissection may be required. If the tumor invades the jawbone, partial jawbone resection should be performed. In advanced tongue cancer, metastasis has occurred and surgery is not possible. Chemotherapy and other methods can be used to improve survival.

2. Provide good care

To promote the recovery of tongue cancer, in addition to active treatment, good care should be taken after surgery. Pay attention to a light diet, avoid smoking and drinking, pay attention to oral hygiene, and maintain a positive and relaxed attitude. Regular check-ups should be conducted to prevent the recurrence of tongue cancer.
