[|Human|] I ve got a lump in my throat which I ve had for some time. I have no pain, no blood, just this lump. one doctor said it might be a polyp but never followed it up. now I m scared because I ve noticed it more recently and when I saw the doctor about it, it was about 7 years ago. I m scared the polyp is cancer :(
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I want to ask you few questions.1. Are you smoker.?2. Do you have dysphagia or hoarseness of voice.3? Do you have weight loss or low grade fever? If you are having any of the above than chances of malignant polyp are more. So in my opinion you should consult ENT surgeon and get done clinical examination of polyp. And if needed biopsy is needed for confirmation of diagnosis. And if you are smoker than quit smoking as soon as possible.
