What symptoms for throat cancer?

Depends on site: There are multiple areas in the throat that may be affected by cancer and each site has different symptoms. The general symptoms include difficulty swallowing, hoarseness, pain in the throat, enlarged tonsils and in some cases first symptoms may be enlarged nodes due to mets. See this site for more info. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/oral-and-throat-cancer/ds00349.

Hoarseness, trouble : Swallowing, sore throat, lump in neck that does not go away. Yes, more common in a smoker that drinks. If your "sore throat" endures more than 2 weeks, see a doctor.
