A member asked:
Is scar tissue on throat cancerous?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Scar tissue in the region of the throat is usually the response to an inflammatory process. Biopsy reveals fibroblastic tissue but no malignant cells Scar tissue is very rarely found in throat cancer but rather a non healing area of ulceration.
