A member asked:

Does having throat warts mean you have throat cancer?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Warts, if they: really are just that, are not cancer, but viral infections. Some of these can predispose you to have future cancers, however. Show them to your doctor or ENT specialist just to be sure.
