The doctors may use several treatments to treat the disease, which may vary on a case-to-case basis. .. Surgery If the tumour is small, it may be easily removed through surgery. If the tumour is a large one, a part or all of the tongue may need to be removed. This may be followed by a reconstructive surgery. This surgery sometimes affects a person's speech and the ability to swallow. Radiotherapy For larger tumours, a combination of surgery and radiotherapy is generally effective. In some cases, nodes from one or both sides of the neck need to be removed, also known as neck dissection. Radiotherapy helps remove any remaining cancer cells and also reduce the risk of cancer to recur. Chemotherapy In this procedure, anticancer drugs are used to treat cancer. The treatment includes a medication or combination of medications. The goal of the treatment is to stop or slow the growth of cancerous cells.
