Which type of doctor treats tongue cancer?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Depends: Exact location of cancer oral vs. Base of tongue matters. Ent, sometimes oral surgeon, radiation oncologist, medical oncologist, speech therapist, etc all play a role. We view a multidisciplinary discussion upfront as the optimal way to determine the best recommendations for care for all of our cancer patients. Consider centers with such an approach.

Oral Surgeon: This is usually treated by an oral surgeon and other doctors if any post surgical treatments are needed.
