Question about smokers and throat cancer- medical professionals please!? |
How long does it take after somebody begins smoking before throat cancer could develop? Would a year be long enough, if the person was never a heavy smoker (a pack a day) - usually averaging out to one a day? I don't believe there is a set time either. My dad had throat/mouth cancer and he smoked for 20+ years. His oncologist told me at the time that *most* cases of throat cancers are not caused by smoking alone. Many times it is associated with long term drinking AND smoking. The alcohol irritates and burns the lining of the mouth and throat, then the smoke/nicotine just adds fuel to the fire. There is no set time could be never but you could get lung cancer first I don't know the statistics, but I remember that the more you smoke and the longer you smoke, the greater the risk of developing a number of different types of cancers, one of which is throat cancer. |
