Throat Cancer

The symptoms of  throat cancer are having a sore throat for a long period of time, weight loss, difficulty swallowing, ear pain, and changes in voice such as hoarseness.
                     

Treatment for this cancer: First step is to see a doctor and see how far your cancer has progressed. The next following steps depend on the stage of cancer and the amount and what cells have been affected

Prognosis:   Early stage disease includes stage I, II, and some

 stage III cancers. Stage I cancer is no more than one inch 

and has not spread to lymph nodes in the area. Stage II 

cancer is more than 2 centimeters, but less than 4 

centimeters and has not spread to lymph nodes in the area. 

Stage III cancer can be considered “early” if it is small and 

involves only a single lymph node, which can be surgically 

removed or treated with radiation with a high probability of cure.
