Question : Round Spike like sore ore growth in my throat and I’m not able to swallow well.

I have breast cancer Grade 3 with metastizied auxiliary lymph nodes. Could this be related?

Brief Answer:
Most likely related to cancer spread.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

The possibility of it's a relationship to cancer spread is very high.

The round sore in the region of throat should be assumed to be related to cancer spread unless otherwise proved in view of stage 3 breast cancer.

However, a clear cut physical examination and tissue Biopsy may only establish the diagnosis.

Hope I have answered your query.

Dr. Suresh Heijebu, General & Family Physician
