14 Causes of Tongue Cancer

November 29, 2019 | New Articles: Conditions

Tongue cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed types of cancer in the world, and also one of the most commonly diagnosed dental issues in the world. Thousands of people develop the condition every year, and you could be one of them if you experience any number of symptoms that include bumps felt in the mouth, a consistently bad taste, fatigue, and immunity problems.

Early diagnosis is key to treating tongue cancer, and seeing your doctor during the earlier stages of the condition could be what saves your life. It’s vital to see your doctor with the first possible symptoms you experience in order for you to move straight to treatment, increasing your chances of making a full and complete recovery.

Even though it’s true that smoking ranks amongst the most common causes of tongue cancer, it’s not the only thing that could cause it. 

Here are 14 causes of tongue cancer you should know.

1. Smoking

People who smoke cigarettes are at an increased risk of developing cancer by default, and this includes cancer of the tongue, mouth and lungs. These are the most common areas directly irritated and affected by smoking, and repeated irritation of these areas can trigger the beginning symptoms of cancer over time.

Even though the body gets used to craving it, smoking cigarettes doesn’t aid the body in any way in the long term and if you’re a regular cigarette smoker, you’re putting yourself at more risk. Other factors added on top of this can further increase your risk of developing these cancers, including an existing family history of cancer.

There’s a very good reason why most cigarette packs are issued with warnings: Smoking really can and does increase your risk of developing cancer. 

If you’re already a smoker, cut down, and if you haven’t started smoking yet, don’t. Not smoking can drastically drop your risk of developing tongue or mouth cancer.
