Alcohol and tobacco use are the strongest risk factors for oral cancers, including those of the tongue. Oral cancers are more common in men than in women and typically occur after the age of 40. Each year, about 37,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with some type of oral cancer (Source: ACS).
