I am worried I have throat/tonsil cancer. I have 2 areas 1 on each tonsil that shouldn’t be there and I’m not sure how long they have been there. I am 36 year old male with HTN and Gerd. I smoke a pack per day and have since I was 15. My throat doesn’t hurt and I seem to have no other symptoms. Is this cancer or anything to be concerned about? Both things are squishy and painless.

Hi..
It is not necessary that every lump is cancerous.
Also just a view is not sufficient and ethical to diagnose cancer..
So it is advisable to get it clinically checked and if there is a doubt a Biopsy should be done to confirm..
So please consult an ENT SURGEON and get examined clinically..
Hope this helps..
Regards .
Does it look like cancer?
Hello.A detailed history, clinical examination and tests are necessary for diagnosis. Do you have weight loss and loss of appetite? Cancer would cause symptoms. See an ENT surgeon and get examined..Best wishes!
Hi
This is not cancer
Good Luck
Dr Ahmed Fawzy and ideas on what it may be? I am going to see an ENT on the 19th but the waiting is killing me. Thanks!!!.
I am wondering what the results were of the photo above?
I’m little late but it looks like condyloma from hpv. I hope you’ve got the treatment.
It is an HP related cancer. I hope you have seen a doctor.
