Can severe tongue cancer be cured?

Tongue cancer, if it is not taken seriously in its early stages and allowed to develop, the cells will become diseased and begin to metastasize and spread to other organs, becoming a late stage. Then the condition will be very serious, with symptoms such as tongue numbness and swallowing difficulties. So today we will take a look at whether tongue cancer can be cured if it is very serious:

The tongue is an easy part of the oral cavity to observe. If there is any abnormality or discomfort, the patient should be alert and go to the hospital for examination. Tongue cancer is a difficult disease, and no treatment method can guarantee 100% success. In addition, each patient is different, and the sensitivity to the treatment method is different, so the treatment effect is definitely different. Therefore, no doctor can guarantee what degree the patient can achieve after treatment. No matter what treatment method is used, 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.

The cure rate of tongue cancer in the early stage is very high, but there is no good cure at present. It can only be effectively controlled through surgery and radiotherapy 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% for five years, and T1 cases are as high as 90%. Even if the tongue cancer surgery is very successful, the patient cannot be careless, because the survival ability of cancer cells is very strong, and it will recur if the cause appears. Therefore, it is necessary to go to the hospital for regular examinations and solve the problems in time. 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.
