Throat cancer refers to the development of cancerous cells in the throat or the voice box, also known as the larynx. The most common type of throat cancer is squamous cell carcinoma, which develops in the thin, flat cells lining the throat.
Symptoms of throat cancer may include persistent hoarseness or a change in the voice, difficulty swallowing, ear pain, persistent cough, throat or neck pain, and a lump or swelling in the neck.
Risk factors for throat cancer include smoking or using tobacco products, heavy alcohol use, exposure to certain chemicals or substances, a weakened immune system, and infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV).
Treatment for throat cancer may include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or a combination of these approaches. The choice of treatment will depend on the type and stage of the cancer, as well as the overall health of the patient.
Early detection and treatment of throat cancer can greatly improve the chances of successful treatment and recovery, so it’s important to seek medical attention if you experience any persistent symptoms or risk factors for the disease.
