Tongue cancer can be fatal, with a five-year survival rate under 70 percent in the United States.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
2 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that tongue cancer can be fatal, with a five-year survival rate under 70 percent in the United States?

Unclear. One source reports that overall five-year relative survival for oral cancer is 69.5 percent, and another lists tongue cancer five-year survival by stage (84 percent localized, 70 percent regional, 41 percent distant). Neither gives a single overall five-year survival figure specifically for tongue cancer in the United States, so the claim is only partially covered.
