What are the symptoms of cancer of the larynx?
Cancer of the larynx usually occurs in people aged over 60. Usually, the first symptom is hoarseness, so if you have been hoarse for more than four weeks it is important to consult your doctor. Less often this is accompanied by throat pain, ear pain or difficulty in swallowing. Fortunately, cancer of the larynx is a rare disease. However, it is important to treat it as early as possible, because this can often lead to a full recovery. For this reason, your doctor is likely to refer you to a specialist.
