ENT monitoring is al: Your ENT doctor can easily detect Cancer in the throat, if it was there. So, as long as you are being monitored by your ENT doctor there is little reason to worry unless there is a progressive growth on your tonsil. I would say pay a visit to your ENT once or twice in a year . if it does not get any worse, then you can stop going there.
