Show Chronic Hoarseness May Be Early Sign of Cancer NEW YORK. Persistent hoarseness calls for careful examination ex-amination by a trained throat . specialist, warns Dr. Leo Schwartz in the current issue of Preventive Medicine. He calls hoarseness the "herald symptom" of cancer of the larynx and points out that it is also the symptom of 49 other oth-er conditions, none of them trivial. Cancer of the larynx gives its warning sign earlier and remains localized longer than cancer anywhere any-where else in the body, and early diagnosis and treatment Oder a better chance for recovery than in other cancers. |
