What are the specific manifestations of the harm of tongue cancer

"Talking about cancer makes people turn pale" just shows that people are very afraid of the harm of cancer, so is the harm of tongue cancer equally frightening? In fact, people are not very familiar with the harm of tongue cancer, and they are not very clear about the specific manifestations of the harm of tongue cancer. Just hearing the word "cancer" is frightening. In order to make everyone pay more attention to the prevention of tongue cancer, let's understand the specific manifestations of the harm of tongue cancer.

1. Tongue cancer is often complicated by infection, and in the late stage it is often complicated by tissue necrosis, hemorrhage, and aspiration pneumonia.

2. Metastasis to the lingual and cervical lymph nodes occurs early, often limited to the pharyngeal and deep cervical lymph nodes. Root ulcers may also occasionally metastasize to the posterior styloid process and retropharyngeal lymph nodes. A small number of patients may have hematogenous metastasis, often to the lungs.

3. In some cases, the early symptoms of tongue cancer include difficulty in swallowing, aggravated pain when talking and eating, and may radiate to the same side of the ear. In the later stage, the tumor infiltrates into the stratum corneum and spreads to the oral cavity, which may restrict body movement and even cause constipation, resulting in drooling, and difficulty in eating, causing systemic nutritional disorders.

4. In the early stage of tongue cancer, there are often nodules or swellings at the edge of the tongue. Later, as the disease progresses, ulceration occurs in the center of the swelling and spreads to the parenchyma and para-epithelial tissue. The ulcer may appear cauliflower-like, with raised edges and an obvious hard infiltrated mass at the base.

The reason why tongue cancer is so scary is its invasiveness and metastasis. Western medicine has no specific medicine, and in the end, both life and wealth will be lost.

Among the cases of tongue cancer, most are in the middle and late stages. In addition, about half of them will have symptoms of recurrence and metastasis within 5 years after treatment. Therefore, the combination of Western medicine treatment with traditional Chinese medicine such as ginsenoside Rh2 capsules can effectively enhance efficacy and reduce toxicity, shorten the recovery period, and prevent recurrence and metastasis. The existing literature supports that ginsenoside Rh2 can inhibit the proliferation of tongue cancer cells and induce their differentiation. For patients in the late stage, it can improve the quality of life and relieve the pain of patients. Patients should pay attention to their daily life patterns, especially their diet patterns.
