What is the survival rate for tongue cancer ?

It depends: Survival of tongue cancer, as in all cancers, depends upon the stage and the treatment administered, as well as the underlying health of the person with the cancer.

It depends: On the staging or how advanced the cancer is at the time of treatment. Involvement of lymph nodes is always more ominous. If you look at all people diagnosed with tongue cancer, the 5 year survival rate is around 50%.
