I want to know how to distinguish between fibroma and tongue cancer. Recently, a very good friend of mine felt a special pain in his tongue when he was eating. After a careful look, he found a white ulcer on his tongue. I checked it carefully on the Internet and found out that in fact, the tongue ulcer may also be tongue cancer.

What's the difference between fibroma and tongue cancer?

1. Tongue cancer is one of the most common oral cancer. But in clinical practice, a typical symptom is ulcer on the surface of tongue fetus. Because if there is a long-term ulcer on the surface of the tongue does not heal, there is a great possibility of canceration, resulting in tongue cancer.

2. But not all of the ulcers on the surface of tongue coating are tongue cancer. There is a fundamental difference between the two. But the difference between the two is that even if the doctor only uses the naked eye to observe, he can not make the final correct diagnosis, so he must go to the hospital for examination to see if there are cancer cells before he can make a diagnosis.

3. In general, if you just talk about the ulcer, you can use some drugs to treat the ulcer disease. After a period of time, it will heal itself. However, if the ulcer does not heal for a long time, and the pain becomes more and more intense, even affecting the face, you should pay attention to the possibility of tongue cancer.
