How long can you live without any metastases from tongue cancer?

Tongue cancer without any metastasis, if the surgery goes very well and the treatment is according to the clinical guidelines, the 5-year survival rate is usually more than 60%-70%. Generally speaking, tongue cancer without metastasis means that tongue cancer has not reached a very advanced stage. However, the size of the primary foci of tongue cancer is also directly related to the prognosis. If the diameter of the primary foci is larger than 4cm, the prognosis is relatively poor. Moreover, there is no definite answer to the specific prognosis of tongue cancer in clinic, because of different criteria, different operation modes, different treatment methods and individual differences of patients, so the specific prognosis time can only be a reference.
