A member asked:
A have had lpr for many years. my question is if lpr can cause cancer of the throat or esophagus? i am a non smoker and a occasional drinker (but not for the last 1 1/2 years) my blood labs are perfect as of 3 months ago?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Laryngopharyngeal reflux is not listed as a risk factor for throat cancer (nasopharygeal cancer). However, if you have severe GERD along with LRF, chronic esophagitis can be a risk factor for Barret esophagus which can progress to esophageal adenocarcinoma.
