Depends on the site: Cancer affecting the vocal cords will cause hoarseness fairly early. Cancer in the upper part of the larynx may remain asymtomatic till it has spread to the lymphnodes. There are variations in the time and type of symptoms of throat cancer depending on the location. See this site for more info. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/oral-and-throat-cancer/ds00349.
