10 Tongue Cancer Symptoms
Symptom #3: Lump
A lump or a swelling in the tongue can also be a symptom of tongue cancer. It can be a thickening of part of the tongue, nodule, or an anomaly felt in the tongue. The lump or swelling is usually painless and can be associated with a persistent sore that bleeds easily.
Lumps located on the side of the tongue are more likely to be cancerous especially if hard and painless. Patients who experience this issue should consult a medical professional especially if the lump has persisted longer than a week or two.
