A member asked:
Can i have cancer of the larynx in 16 years ? i never tried cigarettes or any hard liquor, but i have hoarseness for seven months.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unclear question: It is not likely that you have cancer of the larynx. Hoarseness may be due to many causes, including nerve damage, laryngeal nodule or HPV infection. It would be prudent to consult an ENT specialist.
