A member asked:
Would a yeast infection of the vocal cords mimic vocal cord cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No such thing: I've been a doctor for 30 years. I've seen many cases of laryngeal cancer but none of yeast infection of vocal cords. I don't think there is such a thing. If you have persistent hoarseness see ENT specialist ASAP. Risk factors for head and neck cancer are smoking, and drinking alcohol.
