Throat cancer is a term that may describe cancer of any portion of the throat including:

Tonsillar cancer
Baser of Tongue Cancer
Laryngeal Cancer

Throat cancer may present with symptoms including:

Difficulty swallowing
Throat pain
Voice changes
Ear pain
Neck mass
Weight loss
Hemoptysis or coughing of blood

Risk factors for throat cancer include tobacco and alcohol use. Even if tobacco use has stopped, a history of tobacco in the past may be related to development of cancer.

Evaluation for throat cancer includes a complete head and neck exam, laryngoscopy, and possibly bronchoscopy and esophagoscopy. A CT scan, MRI, or PET scan may be ordered for evaluation as well.

Biopsy is performed, either in the office or in the operating room, to obtain tissue for diagnosis.

Treatment for tonsillar cancer may involve a combination of surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy.

Didn’t feel care for left the office feeling discouraged, dr didn’t seem interested in finding out why I’m having my symptoms. From his opinion I’m fine. When a doctor wants to really help they’ll try all test possible to find the problem, instead he said I need to see a pain specialist and I left.

I couldn’t ask for a better experience with a Doctor and staff. Dr. Verma put me at ease and walked me through the Vocal fold injection process. He made it an easy experience and he was always informative and willing to answer questions. I felt heard and never rushed.

I'm unable to eat and swallow. Dr. Verma asked me to go to somewhere else for the treatment. He did NOT even give me the reason why he can not treat me.

Dr. Verma and his staff were totally professional. I came in from Palm Springs and it truly was worth the ride. I have what’s called a ZINKER. He had to put a tube down my nose to examine me. I didn’t feel a thing.Forgot to mention I’m a big baby. All in all it was a very good experience. Thank you Dr. Verma
