Tongue Cancer
Book AppointmentTongue cancer is a form of cancer that begins in the cells of the tongue. Tongue cancer can occur in the mouth (oral tongue cancer) and in the throat, at the base of the tongue (hypopharyngeal tongue cancer).
When to seek expert advise
If you notice discoloured patches on your tongue that are causing pain or growing into lumps, consult a doctor working with the Oncology Service Line at the Aga Khan University Hospital. You need to take action immediately if there is bleeding from your tongue that is not caused by any injuries or events of the sort. A perpetual sore throat or numbness in the mouth are also alarming and reasons to compel you to make an appointment with a doctor.
