Is there a high cure rate for early stage tongue cancer

Early stage tongue cancer has a high cure rate. The treatment of tongue cancer in early stage is mainly based on surgery, which can usually achieve the purpose of cure. When tongue cancer is in early stage, the cure rate is higher. For tongue cancer, no recurrence within 5 years after surgery is equivalent to cure. However, the high cure rate is only for tongue cancer in early stage without lymph node metastasis, and this kind of tongue cancer can be cured through surgery. However, after the resection surgery, it is necessary to have regular checkups to see if there is any recurrence. If there is no sign of recurrence within one year after surgery, tongue cancer can be diagnosed as cured. Therefore, most tongue cancer patients have relatively higher cure rate after standardized treatment in early stage, so they should not worry too much and should actively cooperate with doctors for treatment.
