Hi!
Welcome to healthcaremagic.com.Throat cancer cannot be diagnosed unless you do a series of tests like clinical examination,xray/ct scan,biopsy of affected part etc..Also there are other accompanying symptoms like weight loss,hoarseness,fatugue etc..Please refer to a doctor ,it might be simple infection or voice abuse.

Hi dear,
Quit smoking. Smoking does cause sore throat, in addition to what Dr. Radha has already told you.
