How is the tongue pattern of tongue cancer formed

The basic cause of tongue cancer is still unclear, and it is mainly related to local irritation, tobacco, alcohol, malnutrition and other factors. Tongue cancer is a malignant tumor disease that occurs on the tongue, which may be accompanied by symptoms such as tongue pain, tongue erosion, ulcers and lumps. Patients need care according to the specific cause.

1. Local irritation

Chewing betel nut, betel nut mixture and tobacco can increase the division activity of oral mucosal cells, leading to tongue cancer. Long-term stimulation of the tongue mucosa, such as tooth roots, sharp tooth tips and ill-fitting dentures, can lead to chronic ulcers of the tongue, which in turn can induce cancer.

2. Addicted to smoking and drinking

Epidemiological studies have shown that smoking is closely related to the incidence of tongue cancer, and the older the smoking age, the higher the risk of disease.

3. Malnutrition

Vitamin A can maintain the normal structure and function of the mucosal epithelium. When the body lacks vitamin A, it can lead to thickening of the tongue mucosal epithelium and tongue cancer.

Both early and mid-stage tongue cancer can be cured, and patients need to achieve early detection and early treatment. The main treatment for tongue cancer is surgical treatment, which is divided into two parts: resection and reconstruction. The main function of resection is to remove the primary tumor, metastatic lymph nodes, etc. Reconstructive surgery uses the patient's own normal tissue to restore the basic shape and function of the tongue. Daily care also plays a certain role in the recovery of tongue cancer. Patients should maintain a good nutritional status, stay away from irritants, keep their mouths clean, and provide good conditions for the recovery of tongue cancer.
