What Is Throat Cancer?
Throat cancer refers to the abnormal growth of cells in the throat (pharynx), voice box (larynx), or tonsils. Itโs a type of head and neck cancer that can affect your ability to speak, breathe, and swallow if left untreated.

- Difficulty swallowing (dysphagia)
- A lump in the neck
- Chronic cough (sometimes with blood)
- Unexplained weight loss
- Ear pain without infection
- Swollen lymph nodes
๐ Important: These symptoms may also be caused by other ENT conditions, but itโs always safer to get evaluated by a professional.
