Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

It is good that cancer of throat has been diagnosed at early stage. The chances for cure and post treatment survival are high in that case.

If you have been unable to meet your known doctor then it will be best to take the patient to a tertiary cancer center like Tata memorial hospital and get him evaluated in the head and neck cancer services. Surgery is the choice treatment in stage 1 throat cancer. You also have to get detailed investigations like CT scan or MRI scan and if possible PET scan after consulting the concerned doctor. This will help in accurate staging and planning of surgery. The surgery is done with removal of cancer area with a margin of normal tissue. After surgery the patient might also have to be treated with chemotherapy and radiation for a better treatment result. Please do not worry.
