Abstract
Smoking, larger tongue resection, and advanced tumor stage were strong risk factors for postoperative aspiration and dysphagia complications in tongue cancer patients. The aspiration rate was higher after surgery. Further studies should focus on the prevention and early treatment of dysphagia, especially postoperative aspiration, in tongue cancer patients.
