Question 2

how long does it take for throat cancer to develop?

Accepted Answer

Smolders: The initial changes that lead to cancer begin years, maybe decades, before it appears, as evidenced by the fact that the longer a person has smoked, the greater the risk. It becomes visible to the skilled eye eventually, and when it first appears is usually curable if picked up fast. Good lcuk.

Question 3

how long does it take throat  cancer to develop ? i've been having a clearing of the throat probl for about 7 years now . i was just concerned

Accepted Answer

Not that long: Development of cancer takes a long time but u r asking about progression.  Head and neck cancers r usually fast growing tumors that untreated wouldn't allow 7yrs to pass.  Without changes in voice, enlarging lymph nodes and other problems this is unlikely cancer. It could b a benign problem, so u should see your doctor and maybe an ent.  Postnasal drip is a more common cause of your symptom.

TOO YOUNG BUT . . .: If there are any concerns about changes in your throat, best option is to see an ENT and him decide if a laryngoscopy is indicated.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

MD: You need a doctor to examine you, preferably an ENT who can look down the  throat. If you engage in high risk activities like using tobacco or excess alcohol, it would be even more important you do so but you should see one regardless if you have symptoms. Good luck with that and regards.

Question 9

doctors, what are the odds of a teen developing throat cancer?

Accepted Answer

Pretty unlikely: Pretty unlikely for a true head and neck cancer.   There are some pediatric cancers that can develop in the head and neck, but rare at that age.   Would see your pcp or an ENT to have them first evaluate.    Many other things can cause weird throat symptoms.
