Can tongue cancer be completely cured?

Cancer has taken the lives of countless people and is a disease that everyone fears. Patients often suffer from chemotherapy after surgery. Tongue cancer is also a type of cancer that is extremely difficult to cure and prone to recurrence. So today we will take a look at whether tongue cancer can be completely cured:

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 what degree the patient can achieve after treatment. No matter what treatment method you take, just don't give up treatment.

1. Radiotherapy can be used as an adjuvant treatment before and after surgery for advanced tongue cancer.

2. Surgery is the main method for treating tongue cancer. For T1 cases, wedge-shaped resection more than 1 cm away from the lesion can be performed and sutured directly; for T2-T4 cases, hemiglossectomy or even total glossectomy should be performed. As an important organ for chewing and speech, reconstruction should be performed when more than 1/2 of the tongue is missing.

3. Chemotherapy: Cryotherapy can be considered for T1 and T2 tongue cancer.

4. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine can make up for the deficiencies of surgical treatment, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. It can not only consolidate the effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, but also eliminate the toxic side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

Tongue cancer is the most common malignant tumor in oral cancer, and its treatment is mainly based on comprehensive treatment. The treatment options for tongue cancer include: chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery, interventional therapy, ablation therapy, photodynamic therapy and radioactive particle implantation, etc. After the treatment of tongue cancer, you must have 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.

The cure rate of tongue cancer is very high, but there is currently no good cure. It can only be effectively controlled through surgery and chemotherapy. The development and spread of cancer cells, but relatively speaking, the earlier it is discovered, the longer the patient's survival period.

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.
