A member asked:
I have had a sore throat for 1 month. when will it go away..i hope i don't have cancer?

It is possible.: Prolonged throat pain or hoarseness require a thorough head and neck examination, inclusive of a direct visualization of the vocal cords and all of the structures around the cords. Cancer is absolutely on the list of problems to be concerned about.
