How long does it take for tongue cancer to recur

Tongue cancer is a common malignant tumor in the oral and maxillofacial region. It is more common in men than in women. Most cases are squamous cell carcinomas, especially in the anterior 2/3 of the tongue. Adenocarcinomas are relatively rare and are mostly located at the root of the tongue. Lymphoepithelial carcinoma and undifferentiated carcinomas can also occur at the root of the tongue. Recurrence is a characteristic of malignant tumors, and this is no exception for patients with tongue cancer. How long does it take for tongue cancer to recur?

In clinic, we are afraid of cancer. Once suffering from cancer, many patients traditionally think that there is no way to treat it and they are sentenced to death. Especially for patients with recurrence, some patients even choose not to treat it and wait for death silently, immersed in pessimism, disappointment, complaints, and depression. In fact, this is wrong. Patients and their families should not have such thoughts. Although recurrence of tongue cancer is more difficult to treat, it is by no means an incurable disease. In clinic, many patients have not only lived a normal life, but also lived a better life and their survival period was extended through treatment. Therefore, timely treatment is necessary.

When tongue cancer recurs, the patient is very weak due to long-term torture of the disease, previous treatment damage and psychological trauma, and the disease has already spread and metastasized when it recurs. Therefore, the patient's treatment is mainly systemic treatment, and the purpose of treatment is to prolong life as much as possible and improve the quality of life. Each tongue cancer patient can know how long it will take to relapse according to each person's condition and the doctor's advice.

Radiotherapy, chemotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine are common treatments for recurrent tongue cancer. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy can effectively control the progression of the disease and prolong the patient's survival by killing cancer cells in the body. However, since radiotherapy and chemotherapy cannot distinguish between normal cells and cancer cells, they can cause serious toxic side effects during treatment. It is necessary to choose a reasonable method based on the patient's condition to avoid excessive treatment that affects the patient's survival time and quality of life.

Traditional Chinese medicine is a traditional Chinese medical treatment method. In the treatment of tongue cancer and other diseases, traditional Chinese medicine can often achieve unexpected therapeutic effects. When tongue cancer recurs, due to the weak body, safe and non-toxic traditional Chinese medicine treatment is particularly suitable.

Traditional Chinese medicine has anti-cancer and strengthening effects. It can not only effectively kill cancer cells in the body and control the deterioration of the disease, but also regulate the body, improve the patient's immunity and resistance, and enhance the patient's own anti-cancer ability, thereby maximizing the patient's life and improving the patient's quality of life. For patients with recurrent tongue cancer, traditional Chinese medicine can not only implement conservative treatment, but also assist surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy to achieve synergistic and detoxification effects, effectively promoting the patient's early recovery or long-term survival with the tumor.

I hope the above introduction is helpful to everyone. Although the recurrence of tongue cancer is a serious condition, it does not mean that you can only wait for death. Patients should not have the idea of ​​not receiving treatment. They should maintain an optimistic attitude, actively choose appropriate treatment plans, and a reasonable diet are important guarantees to reduce patients' pain and prolong their lives.
