Is tongue cancer treatable
My brother frequently chewed tobacco and as a result he developed cancer of the tongue. We have ensured that treatments be started but I am very worried for his health. I was wondering about the types of tongue cancer treatment. Is it possible that some treatments can completely cure his tongue cancer?
