Treatment of tongue cancer in Incheon is a combination of conservative and surgical measures aimed at destroying the malignant tumor, stopping the spread of metastases, and preventing complications. The main task of local specialists is to preserve the organ as much as possible while destructively acting on atypical cells. Early diagnosis is the key to atraumatic and effective treatment.

Differentiation of tongue cancer in Incheon is carried out using the following methods:

  • digital X-ray of soft and hard tissues of the mouth,
  • ultrasound of facial tissues, salivary glands, and lymph nodes,
  • CT of the oral cavity and head,
  • endoscopic examination by an otolaryngologist,
  • laboratory tests of blood,
  • tumor biopsy (punch, needle, and incisional).

After diagnosis is established and the nature of the pathology is clarified, doctors develop a treatment plan for the individual patient.

Therapy may consist of the following procedures and their combinations:

  • surgical resection of the neoplasm and sentinel lymph nodes,
  • surgical glossectomy with reconstructive plastic surgery of the tongue,
  • external and contact radiotherapy,
  • radiation therapy on a linear accelerator with modulated beam intensity,
  • therapy with monoclonal antibodies,
  • mono- and polychemotherapy.

Treatment tactics vary depending on the form and stage of the disease, so they are developed individually. If tongue amputation is necessary, the patient is prepared for reconstructive surgery, or it is performed simultaneously with resection if circumstances allow. Patients who have undergone intervention are recommended a rehabilitation program aimed at restoring speech, swallowing, and other important functions of the affected organ.
