Can a tyhroid cartilage in the throat be cancerous
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Uncommon occurrence: Tumors can develop in cartilage but such tumors are uncommon. A cancerous tumor of the cartilage is even less likely.

The thyroid: Cartilage compises the "adam's apple" and shields the voice box. The thyroid is on the outside and a small channel connect the right and left lobe. If cancer is involved, it is usually from the inside out with glottic and supraglottic cancers invading, conveying a poorer prognosis.
