Overview
Other diagnostic studies for tongue cancer include tumor biopsy and panendoscopy.
Other Diagnostic Studies
Tumor biopsy
- A sample of the lesion may be obtained as a part of the endoscopic evaluation of the tumor or in the clinical setting.
- Tumor biopsy helps to evaluate viable tumor cells. The majority of biopsy findings reflect the presence of squamous cell carcinoma. However, in fewer instances, minor salivary gland malignancies and sarcomas are discovered.
Panendoscopy
- Panendoscopy allows for the complete evaluation of the upper aerodigestive tract and helps rule out the presence of a metachronous tumor. With the help of panendoscopy the mucous membranes of the upper aerodigestive tract are evaluated, and biopsy samples of any abnormal tissue areas are taken for assessment.
- By performing tumor-specific endoscopy an intermediate view is obtained, whereby the anesthetized patient in a relaxed state can have the oral cavity examined with less difficulty. The tumor is staged after completing the evaluation
