Overview
Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of tongue cancer include reduced CBC levels, abnormal prothrombin time (PT), abnormal activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), and abnormal international normalized ratio (INR).
Laboratory findings
A complete blood cell count is a useful general screen that helps the consulting internist establish if further testing is warranted. In a patient with a suspected bleeding diathesis, investigations may also include tests of prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), and international normalized ratio (INR).
