Not every patient needs radiotherapy or chemotherapy after tongue cancer surgery. It depends on the cancer stage, pathology report, surgical margins, and lymph-node involvement.

The tongue cancer surgery success rate is generally better when cancer is detected early. Tongue cancer surgery cost in India and overall tongue cancer surgery cost depend on the type of surgery and hospital care. In some cases, tongue cancer surgery reconstruction may also be required to support speech and swallowing.
