For suspected throat cancer, what treatments are available and how urgent is it? (photo)

Simply put. There are benign causes and worrisome ones. If the frequency is unusual and lasting longer than a minute or two, I would advise you to get it checked. At the A&E, our practice would be to first examine where the bleeding occurs, if it’s at the front and easily seen it’s usually due to mucosal injury be it nose digging or blowing your nose very hard. Some medicines like acne medications can cause dry mucosa, as can cold weather and climates.

Hi, thanks for the D2D. This is a great question. From published data, there may be a slight increase risk of developing cancers in Individuals with psoriasis. Some studies do show a possible increase risk of cancers like lymphoma, lung cancer and skin cancer. Possible reason for this includes the chronic inflammation and impaired immune-surveillance in psoriasis individuals. The treatments used in psoriasis may also lead to an increase in the risk of cancers eg phototherapy can lead to increase in skin cancers and the oral and systemic treatments like cyclosporine may also increase the risk.
