What is the Tongue?

Tongue cancer is the most common oral cancer, more men than women. The majority of tongue squamous cell carcinoma, especially in the Anterior 2 / 3 parts of cancer is less common, and more at the tongue base, tongue base and sometimes also occur lymphoepithelial carcinoma and undifferentiated carcinoma. Occurred in the tongue edge of the tongue, followed by tongue, tongue, and tongue, etc., often ulcerated or infiltrating. Generally higher degree of malignancy, rapid growth, highly invasive and often spread to the tongue, causing tongue movement is limited, so to speak, difficulty eating and swallowing occurred. Tongue back arch and the tongue and palate can be violated tonsil, tongue cancer can spread to the late floor of the mouth and jaw, so that the entire tongue fixed. Base of the tongue of secondary infection or severe pain often occurs in cancer and radiation to the same side head face. Because the tongue has a rich lymphatic and blood circulation, and the tongue of the mechanical movement frequently, so the earlier transfer of tongue cancer and a higher risk of metastasis. Tongue or the tongue over the center line of the tongue to the contralateral cervical lymph node metastases can; Ministry Tongue and neck cancer more depth to the submandibular lymph nodes, the group transfer; tongue cancer can be transferred to the Department or directly to the neck under the chin deep the group of lymph nodes, base of the tongue cancer is not only transferred to the submandibular or deep cervical lymph nodes, may also poststyloid and pharynx to the rear of the lymph node. Tongue can also occur distant metastasis, and more generally transferred to the lungs.


Most of the tongue is from the normal mucosa occurred, beginning cancer; from a few feet from benign lesions, such as changes made from the white.

Tongue cancer occurs in the tongue edge of the 1 / 3, followed by tongue, belly and back of the tongue. Early ear can be seen under the tongue and submandibular lymph nodes. Early symptoms, mucosal surface can be expressed as a clear boundary, the range is fixed, the color anomaly area. This area was mostly red or red and white, the surface can be smooth or was finely granular, the majority of non-ulcer, a small number of ulcers; above the mucosal surface from time to or higher than the mucosal surface about 1 mm. Obvious signs, the performance of the tongue mass, ulcers associated with pain and discomfort. When the tumor invaded to the base of the tongue, may be radioactive earache; tongue muscle invasive tumors can be caused by tongue movement is limited; when the whole tongue involvement is caused by a fixed tongue, salivation, difficulty eating, language is unclear.

Tumors can be due to ischemia, hypoxia, causing necrosis, ulceration and secondary infection, with issue of blood, stench. Cervical lymph node metastasis of tongue cancer was 29% to 38%, associated with the course sooner or later period. Treatment of tongue cancer, the first use of radiation therapy without response to surgery. Diameter of 2 cm below the cure rate can be as high as 88%.
