Throat Cancer
Throat cancer is a growth of malignant cells in the pharynx, the larynx, or nearby structures of the aerodigestive tract. Like other tumors, its early detection favors care options.
Frequent symptoms:
- Hoarseness or changes in the voice that persist
- A sore throat or pain when swallowing that does not let up
- A lump in the neck or unexplained weight loss
Factors worth knowing: Tobacco and alcohol use, as well as certain viral infections, are associated with a higher risk.
Which specialist treats it? The otolaryngologist usually performs the initial evaluation of the area, and the oncologist coordinates the care of the tumor, with the participation of the general surgeon depending on the case. If you have persistent symptoms in the throat or voice, it is advisable to have a professional evaluate them without postponing it.
