Overview
According to the United States Preventive Services Task Force, screening for tongue cancer is not recommended in United States until now. Outside US, Multiple screening programs have been tried in high-risk patients. Screening subjects are tobacco or alcohol heavy consumers.
Screening
- Tongue cancer screening is not standard procedure for a health assessment. There is no effective oral cancer screening program either a general or a selected high-risk population for oral cancer in the United States.[1]
- Screening high-risk individuals in developing countries could be an effective prevention strategy that lowered the stage of oral cancer at diagnosis and improved 5-year survival.[2]
- Screening subjects in the subgroup who used tobacco or alcohol reduced the mortality rate from oral cancer.[3]
