A member asked:
If i had a negative endoscopy and laryngoscopy (with no history of cancer) in the last 6 months, what's the likelihood of having a cancer of the hypopharynx that's large enough to cause swallowing discomfort?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
There are many reasons to explain swallowing discomfort, but in this situation cancer of the pharynx is not one of them.
