What is tongue cancer?
There are two parts to your tongue, the oral tongue and the base of
the tongue. Cancer can develop in either part. The oral tongue is
the part you see when you 'poke your tongue out' at someone. This is
the front two thirds of your tongue. Cancers that develop in this
part of the tongue come under a group of cancers called mouth (oral)
cancer.

The base of the tongue is the back third of the tongue. This part is
very near your throat (pharynx). Cancers that develop in this part
are called oropharyngeal cancers (pronounced oar-o-farin-gee-al).
Types of tongue cancer
The most common type of tongue cancer is squamous cell carcinoma
(SCCA). Squamous cells are the flat, skin-like cells that cover the
lining of the mouth, nose, larynx, thyroid and throat. Squamous cell
carcinoma is the name given to a cancer that starts in these cells.

Unless you have some tongue and groove boards with rot cancer. This
has nothing to do with alt.home.repair.
Go to some health related group.
