throat cancer detection

Hello, Has anyone heard about or taken the Oncalert Orarapid or Oramark test? It is a oral cancer (mouth and throat) saliva test that has been developed for early detection of Oral Cancer. I'm surprised there is no chatter about this test since one of the top HPV concerns right now is head and neck cancer. Currently, it is commercially available in most countries outside of the U.S. Has anyone taken the test, any thoughts, etc? https://www.prnewswire.

A couple days ago I began to feel the sensation of a small lump in the right side of my throat. I'm unsure what it is and when I stick out my tongue and look down my throat I can't see anything. I don't have any other symptoms other than this lump (no sinus congestion, fever, cough, etc.). If some one could explain to me what could be causing this sensation it would be greatly appreciated.

I am a 37 year old mother of 2 beautiful boys, but I have had my fair share of female problems. Beginning after my 2nd boy was born in 2002. I ended up having a hysterectomy in 2005 because of endometriosis and an enlarged uterus. I chose to keep my ovaries because they were working fine. My family history is huge for cancer...mostly on my mother's side.

My mother had breast cancer and lead a much healthier life style than I have. Unfortunately, cancer is not something that we can avoid. But early detection and educating ourselves on our bodies is our best defense.

The role of lung cancer screening tests is still not clear. Some studies have led to earlier detection of lung cancer but shown little or no effect on overall cancer survival. Still, I favor attempts at early detection, especially during the first ten years following smoking cessation, especially the technique of sputum cytology. That is the examination of coughed-up sputum, for cancer cells.

Today in Australia it was announced a New Detection Test for Ovarian Cancer is now available to women. The blood test can be done by your local GP and the results will be back with-in 10 working days. This new testing has a 94% accuracy rate in detecting OvCa in the very, very early stages. I don't have any further information on it as yet, but all major TV channels ran with the story this evening.

Microcalcifications themselves are not cancerous but an indication of some changes in the breast tissue that may be due to cancer. Due to methods of early detection (and our own dedication) cancer can be detected when very small before a lump can be felt. Unfortunately recurrance is always a possibility as is the development of another primary cancer. We all hope to remain "Survivors"in spite of those possibilities.

my mother thinks she has throat cancer...i think barretts....since she was little she would always have her stomach acid flow through her throat.....( idon't know if that makes sense, like when she is laying down it flows back into her throat) and so over the years, her throat has suffered from the acid...she also feels pain in her throat...her throat burns everytime she talks and swallows (occasionally). her voice has became rough/scratchy. she also feels a lump in her throat. help me....

I was given a choice to either quit smoking and hope that we were early enough to have caught it, and hope that my throat repairs itself, or end up with throat cancer and all that goes with it. I quit smoking. My following check ups have been all good. I am LUCKY, because I didnt wait, I have lost to many friends and family to cancer, (on my husbands side even non smokers). So please dont wait, get to a Doctor. I may not be here today if I didnt Jump to it.

It helped to calm my fears and he talks about the same article I read which states high strain hpv (not the kind causing warts but the kind causing cervical cancer) is now a big factor in the rise of throat cancer. According to him less than 5% of people with high strain develop throat cancer. I can rest a little better now. Thanks again.

My husband has/ had throat cancer. He went through kemo and radiation. He is going to tested Fri. to see if treatment worked. He still has very bad breath. Also 2 other spots have shown up too. He also has a large lump on his leg.

I went to see an ENT and he did a scope (went in through the nose and looked down at the throat), I had a CT of the throat, and an Ultrasound of my thryroid and a Upper GI Series (Barium Swallow). There was nothing he could see from the scoping, the CT came back negative, the Barium swallow showed mild to moderate acid reflux, and the ultrasound showed nodules (which the doc said was nothing to worry about). All in all everything that was done did not show any type of mass or obstruction.

I suggest you see an Ear nose and throat specialist. They will be able to take a look in your nasal area as well as in your throat. So suggest to your family doctor you would like to see your local specialist.

Hello I have been having some Throat Tightness, Its a feeling like a choking sensation, it doesn't bother me all of the time just every now and then. I am only 16 years old. Sometimes I have throat pain. I have had this a lot of my life, it comes and goes, sometimes it will stay away as long as a year or so, but somehow it manages to come back. Do you think that this could be some type of cancer of the throat? I did have a lot of sore throats when I was younger.
