What Is throat cancer?
When cells living in your throat create genetic variations they have the ability to grow by leaps and bounds and survive for longer periods of time than the healthy cells they co-exist with. These cells can develop into a tumor in parts of your body that are in close proximity to your throat; however, the medical diagnosis is usually that of throat cancer.
