I was not in the hospital. I asked just a second opinion. I was very disappointed, because I was working a lot to translate all the documentation into English, and finally I was discussing with doctor only 10 minutes, and the level of the discussion was very poor. Practically I did not get anything for 400 EUR. <br/><br/> <strong>Reply from Professor Johaness Drach:</strong><br/> <i>Second opinion is given on the basis of a thorough analyses of provided medical reports. The procedure lasts as long until all questions of the patient have been clarified. If necessary specialists of other disciplines are also involved. The patient always receive a written statement.</i>

FAQ about Tongue cancer Treatment in Austria

Why do patients choose foreign clinics for the treatment of tongue cancer?

The main method of treating tongue cancer in domestic hospitals is partial or complete removal of the organ. Abroad, specialists use laser and ultrasound, which preserve the tissues of the tongue as much as possible. If surgery is indicated, foreign doctors perform a partial removal of the organ with its subsequent restoration.

How to choose a clinic for the diagnosis and treatment of tongue cancer?

When choosing a medical institution, pay attention to:

  • qualification of an ENT oncologist;
  • methods of treatment used by clinic specialists;
  • accreditations and certificates of the department where tongue cancer is treated.

Tongue Cancer Diagnosis

Comprehensive diagnosis of tongue cancer includes:

  • biopsy - sampling of neoplasm tissue for analysis;
  • histology - a laboratory study of a tumor, which determines its malignancy;
  • Chest CT - detects metastases in the lungs;
  • positron emission computed tomography (PET-CT) - determines the prevalence of the tumor in the body.

Treatment Methods

Removal of the tumor

  • Non-surgical removal

Intervention is indicated for patients with tumors up to 4 cm. Doctors excise the tumor with a laser or ultrasound.

Advantages: unlike other methods, the procedure preserves healthy tissues as much as possible.

Disadvantages: Large neoplasms cannot be removed with laser and ultrasound.

  • Glossectomy

This is a partial or complete removal of the language. Surgeons perform interventions for tumors larger than 4 cm.

Advantages: during the operation, surgeons excise large neoplasms.

Disadvantages: the procedure causes organ dysfunction. After a glossectomy, it is necessary to carry out the reconstruction of the tongue.

Radiation therapy

Types of radiation therapy for tongue cancer:

  • therapeutic - destroys small tumors without surgical intervention;
  • neoadjuvant - reduces the neoplasm before its removal;
  • adjuvant - affects the pathological cells that remain after the operation;
  • palliative - stops tumor growth and reduces symptoms in the last stages.

Chemotherapy

Types of chemistry for tongue cancer:

  • therapeutic - destroys small tumors without surgery;
  • induction - reduces neoplasms before surgery;
  • adjuvant - destroys malignant cells that have not been removed;
  • palliative - improves the quality of life in the last stages.

In most cases, doctors do chemotherapy along with radiation therapy.

Duration of treatment

The duration of treatment depends on the prescribed procedures. Surgery for tongue cancer takes 1 to 4 hours. Depending on the extent of the intervention, the patient stays in the clinic for 1-14 days. Radiation therapy lasts from 1 to 7 weeks, chemotherapy - up to 6 months.

Stages of treatment

  1. The patient comes to the medical facility for a consultation. An ENT oncologist studies the medical history, the results of previous tests, if necessary, sends for an additional examination.
  2. The patient undergoes procedures prescribed by a specialist.
  3. An ENT oncologist selects the most effective treatment for tongue cancer and makes predictions.

How is the treatment going?

Removal of the tumor

Depending on the size of the neoplasm, the doctor removes it with a laser, ultrasonic scissors, or with a scalpel.

After traditional surgery, a reconstructive plastic surgeon reconstructs the tongue with a skin flap. He takes the material for the procedure from the chest, thigh, forearm or back of the patient.

Radiation therapy

Radiation oncologists perform irradiation by the following methods:

  • remote - using a linear accelerator. Specialists perform an MRI, which accurately determines the location of the tumor. After that, they set the intensity and direction of the beam to the linear accelerator. The device accurately affects the affected tissues without damaging healthy ones.
  • Contact (brachytherapy) – specialists using needles for 1 week granules with radioactive material are placed in the tumor. The substance destroys pathological cells and does not harm the entire body.

Life after tongue cancer

Surgical treatment of tongue cancer can impair its function. Therefore, speech therapists work with patients - they help restore the functioning of the organ.

Questions about tongue cancer treatment

  • Can stage 4 tongue cancer be cured?

In the last stages, palliative treatment is indicated, which reduces symptoms and improves quality of life.

  • Is it necessary to come to the clinic for a consultation?

We can arrange a remote consultation. Learn more about this from your Bookimed medical coordinator.
