Treatment:

Treatment for tongue cancer will depend on:

• ocation of the cancer
• stage (spread) of your cancer
• Your general health

Surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy are used to treat tongue cancer.

Surgery

Oral Tongue (the front two-thirds of the tongue) Surgical removal of the primary tumor is often the only treatment needed for small oral tongue cancers. If the tumor is large, it may have spread to lymph nodes in the neck. If so, our surgeon may recommend removal of the affected lymph nodes in the neck.

Most small cancers of the oral tongue leave little cosmetic or functional changes after they are removed.

Larger tumors can spread and cause swallowing difficulties. Surgery for large tumors may also affect speech and swallowing. With the latest reconstructive techniques, our doctors are able to restore most speech and swallowing problems.

Base of the Tongue (the back one-third of the tongue)
Tumors on the base of the tongue are usually larger when diagnosed because in the early stages the tumor is difficult to see. The only early symptom is ear pain. Voice changes and difficult swallowing occur later.

Because bases of the tongue cancer is diagnosed later, the cancer may have already spread to the neck. A neck dissection is frequently needed to remove the affected lymph nodes.

Radiation Therapy

Radiation therapy stops cancer cells from dividing and slows the growth of the tumor. Radiotherapy also destroys cancer cells and can shrink or eliminate tumors. Intensity modulated radiation therapy allows the use of more effective radiation doses with fewer side effects than conventional radiotherapy techniques.

Radiation therapy involves 5-6 weeks of daily treatments.

Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy is prescribed for different reasons:

• Together with radiotherapy as an alternative to surgery (called chemoradiation)


• After surgery to decrease the risk of the cancer returning


• To slow the growth of a tumor and control symptoms when the cancer cannot be cured (palliative treatment)
