What is Dysplacia ?

Question

I'm not sure Dysplacia is the correct word but the actual thing is early stage mouth cancer (on the tongue). What are the realities of this and is it fairly curable? Please help. Thanks

Answer 1

Any mouth cancer should be taken very seriously and treated promptly and aggressively. Squamous cell of the tongue is a very dangerous and fairly common cancer, especially in smokers.

Answer 2

Treatment of oral cancers depends on the stage of the cancer. If the cancer is caught and diagnosed early, a surgical procedure to remove the tumor may be all that is necessary. If the cancer has spread to other parts of the body, radiation and/or chemotherapy may be necessary,,An estimated 30,000 Americans are diagnosed with cancers of the mouth and tongue each year, and about 8,000 people die from these cancers annually. Oral cancers involve the lips, the tongue, the inner cheeks and the gums. Cancers of the jaw muscles, bones or salivary glands are not considered mouth cancers.

Answer 3

Do you mean Dysplasia???
Dysplasia is any abnormal development of tissues or organs (disordered formation)
It can lead to cancer if the tissues or organs dont get back to normal but in most cases it does.
If it is spread around and doesnt go away a health care professional might have to perform a biopsy to remove the piece with abnormal tissue or organs.
I doubt its on the tongue I know it occurs in a women's cervix and on the hip joint but never heard of the tongue.
You can Yahoo it or google it and it will tell you more info.
