Answer: 3
The most common site for tongue cancer is the posterior lateral border of the tongue, accounting for around 50% of all cases. The second most common site is the anterior two thirds of the tongue.
Tongue cancer on the base of the tongue or in the posterior one third is more difficult to detect and can be more advanced by the time it's discovered. This can lead to a poorer prognosis.
Other common sites for oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) include: mouth floor, soft palate, gingiva, buccal mucosa, and hard palate.
Some risk factors for tongue cancer include: Tobacco use, Alcohol consumption, and Exposure to specific types of HPV.
