A member asked:
How is it checked that sore throat caused by laryngopharyngeal is not turning into laryngeal cancer or is one a sitting duck until it is too late.

Surveillance: You need to be seen on a periodic basis by an otolaryngologist to look into your throat with a fiberoptic scope. If there is anything suspicious, it can be biopsied. Proper treatment of the condition will avoid the likelihood of something serious developing.
