Throat Cancer

Recognizing Potential Signs of Throat Cancer

 

 

 

 

 

 It can be difficult to detect throat cancer in its early stages. Common signs and symptoms of throat cancer include:

• a change in your voice
• trouble swallowing (dysphagia)
• weight loss
• sore throat
• constant need to clear your throat
• persistent cough (may cough up blood)
• swollen lymph nodes in the neck
• wheezing
• ear pain
• hoarseness

Make a doctor’s appointment if you experience any of these symptoms and they do not improve for a duration exceeding two to three weeks
