You really need to have a dentist take a look. The signs are similar to most cancer: sores that don't heal, bleeding, irregular growths.
If you see anything weird that could possibly be cancer, it needs to be seen by a dentist or M.D, stat. Don't trust people on Yahoo Answers with health stuff, especially cancer.

A DENTIST PERFORMING AN ORAL CANCER SCREENING IS THE BEST. THE TONGUE HAS SMALL EXTENSIONS TO IT THAT SOMETIMES TRAP CERTAIN FOODSTUFFS AND THIS MAY MAKE YOUR TONGUE APPEAR LIKE IT HAS A DARK OR YELLOWISH COATING. USING A TONGUE SCRAPER(BOUGHT IN ANY PHARMACY) CAN REMOVE THIS COATING (TRAPPED BACTERIA) AND RETURN
