1. Pathological examination

For tongue nodules, erosions or ulcers, especially those on the lateral edge of the tongue, if there is no improvement or continues to grow after 2 to 3 weeks of treatment, this disease should be considered and a biopsy is required to confirm the diagnosis. The sample should be taken from the edge of the tumor and include some normal tissue. If the sample is shallow, cancerous tissue is often not found.

2. Cervical lymph node biopsy

This disease often metastasizes to the cervical lymph nodes, especially under the digastric muscle and submandibular. The neck should be carefully examined and a cervical lymph node biopsy should be performed when necessary, which is of certain significance in the diagnosis and staging of the disease.

3. Imaging examination

X-rays, tomography and CT are of diagnostic value in determining the invasion range of tongue cancer.

During the treatment, the patient can also sit for a while after meals or take a slow walk every day to increase the patient's appetite, thereby increasing the patient's body resistance. To improve the long-term efficacy of tongue cancer, early detection, early diagnosis, early treatment, and regular follow-up are necessary.
