Hoarseness or difficulty speaking

A person’s voice may become hoarse or quiet, similar to how it sounds when they have a cold. This may be a sign of laryngopharyngeal cancer, which affects the back of the throat and vocal cords. Swelling in the mouth due to a tumor can also cause a lisp, difficulty pronouncing certain words, or slurred speech.

If the cancer is on the tongue, it can restrict its movement and affect speech. Because of this, the patient slurs certain words or has problems pronouncing certain sounds.

In rare cases, heart disease or cancer may be the cause of a sore throat. In any case, if alarming symptoms appear, you should consult a doctor and not self-medicate.

It is interesting to think about this using the example of Hollywood actor Michael Douglas – in 2013, he stated that the cause of laryngeal cancer, diagnosed in 2010, was oral sex. The actor shared this theory with The Guardian. According to Douglas, his cancer occurred as a result of the human papillomavirus being transmitted to him during oral sex.
