10 Tongue Cancer Symptoms
Symptom #4: White Patch on the Tongue
Red and white patches on the tongue can be a symptom of cancer. These patches usually have irregular margins and are located on the ventral or side of the tongue. It is important to note that red and white patches can also be due to a fungal infection known as thrush.
To differentiate these, patches caused by thrush usually rub off and are not related to cancer. Patients who experience this issue should seek professional medical opinion to rule out cancer or to administer early treatment if required.
