How long does it take to get the highest cure rate for tongue cancer

If tongue cancer is found in the early stage, you should go to the hospital for treatment immediately and change your eating habits and lifestyle in your daily life. Do not ignore it and miss the opportunity for treatment. When it reaches the late stage, the pain of eating and talking is worse than death. So today, let's take a look at how long it takes for tongue cancer to have the highest cure rate:

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 early stage tongue cancer is very high, but there is no good cure at present. Surgery and chemotherapy can only be used to effectively control the development and spread of cancer cells. However, relatively speaking, the earlier the disease is discovered, the longer the patient's survival period will be. The cure rate of early stage tongue cancer is 70% to 80% and the five-year survival rate is as high as 90% for T1 cases.

Even if the tongue cancer surgery is successful, patients should not be careless, because cancer cells have strong survival ability and will recur if there is a trigger, so they must go to the hospital for regular check-ups and solve problems in time. After the tongue cancer treatment, 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.
