What Patients Say About Cancer Treatment at New Hope
What Is Tongue Cancer?
Achieving remission begins with knowing vital information about your diagnosis.
Tongue cancer is a form of head and neck cancer that begins in the cells of the tongue, causing tumors or lesions. This malignant disease can develop on the front of the tongue, which doctors call oral tongue cancer. It can also arise as oropharyngeal cancer, which indicates that cancer is at the base of the tongue.
Without proper treatment, advanced tongue cancer can impact your ability to speak, eat, and live a normal, happy life. Choosing a cancer care team with decades of experience in alternative oral cancer treatments, such as New Hope Unlimited, can help you manage the symptoms that often result from tongue cancer.

- A persistent sore throat
- A sense of discomfort when swallowing
What Caused Your Cancer?
The underlying cause of tongue cancer is unknown. However, certain conditions and behaviors can increase your risk, including:
- Smoking or chewing tobacco
- Excessive alcohol consumption
- Chewing betel, which is common in Asia
- Infection with human papillomavirus (HPV)
- A family history of oral cancers
- A personal history of squamous cell cancers
- Exposure to certain chemicals
- A diet low in fruits and vegetables
- A diet high in red meat or processed food
In addition, poor oral hygiene and other factors affecting the mouth — such as jagged teeth or dentures that do not fit properly — may cause irritation and lead to the onset of tongue cancer.
Tests for Tongue Cancer
Earlier diagnosis leads to better tongue cancer prognosis and life expectancy. During your check-up, your doctor is likely to conduct the following tests:
- Medical history and physical exam
- Removal of tissue for testing (biopsy)
- Imaging tests to determine the extent of cancer:
- X-ray of the chest
- Computed tomography (CT) scan
- Positron emission tomography(PET) scan
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan
After receiving a tongue cancer diagnosis, the most important step is to plan your treatment.
