Is the cure rate of tongue cancer high?

In the cold winter, it is a happy thing for us to have a hot pot with our family. We eat it while it is hot. However, if we often eat something too hot, the tongue will be burned and prone to lesions. Many people may not know that it is easy to get tongue cancer. So today we will take a look at whether the cure rate of tongue cancer is high:

This disease is a difficult disease, and no treatment method can guarantee 100% success. In addition, each patient has different individual differences, different sensitivities to treatment methods, and the treatment effects are definitely different. Therefore, no doctor can guarantee how well the patient will recover after treatment. No matter what treatment method you take, don't give up treatment. If you choose Chinese medicine treatment, it is recommended to choose medicine from a regular cancer hospital.

The cure rate of tongue cancer is very high in the early stages, but there is currently no good cure. The only way to effectively control the development and spread of cancer cells is through surgery and chemotherapy. However, relatively speaking, the earlier it is discovered, the longer the patient's survival period will be.

The cure rate of tongue cancer is 70% to 80% and the five-year survival rate is as high as 90% for T1 cases. The tongue is an easy part of the mouth to observe. If there is any abnormality or discomfort, the patient should be alert and go to the hospital for examination.

Experts say that tongue cancer relapses mostly within 5 years after surgery. The recurrence site is mostly at the tumor site or the neck, about 40% of which occurs at the original surgical site and 60% occurs at the cervical lymph nodes. Therefore, tongue cancer patients should pay special attention to whether there is a palpable mass at the original surgical site or the neck. The prevention of tongue cancer lies in reducing external stimuli, actively treating precancerous lesions, and improving the body's resistance to disease. Since tongue cancer has a high recurrence rate, it is recommended to have a follow-up examination every 3 months within one year after surgery; every 6 months within 2 to 3 years after surgery; and once a year after 5 years.

After treatment of tongue cancer, you must maintain an optimistic attitude. In order to avoid wild thoughts, you should participate in more meaningful activities, such as planting flowers, raising fish, calligraphy, and self-cultivation. At the same time, you should also exercise appropriately to strengthen your physical fitness and improve your disease resistance.

Note: Even if the tongue cancer surgery is successful, the patient should not be careless, because the cancer cells have a strong survival ability and will recur if the inducement appears. Therefore, it is necessary to go to the hospital for regular check-ups and solve the problems in time if they are discovered.
