Throat cancer refers to a group of cancers that affect various parts of the throat. The Cleveland Clinic notes that the areas most commonly affected are the larynx, or voice box, and the oropharynx, the middle section of the throat. According to the American Cancer Society’s 2024 statistics, it is estimated that there will be approximately 58,450 new cases of oropharyngeal cancer and about 12,650 new cases of laryngeal cancer. Throat cancer treatment typically involves surgical removal of the cancerous growths.

Time after time he visited his doctor for antibiotics, but the infection always came back. “It got to the point where the doctor was like, ‘OK, no more antibiotics. Something else is going on here,’” Danielle Styer, 31, of Cortland, Ohio, tells TODAY.com. Agler’s various treatment makes it difficult for his voice to carry so Styer, Agler's girlfriend, answers questions for him. “When he looked in his mouth … it looked like the roof of his mouth was heavy, like pushing down.”

For years, Rich Bugay struggled with constant discomfort and difficulty breathing. To deal with the sensation of a burning mouth, the father of three ate cough drops nearly nonstop. Just picking up his legs to walk was difficult, and intense fatigue was a constant struggle, leaving him exhausted. Initial visits to doctors didn't provide many answers. Doctors thought his symptoms were linked to his gastrointestinal system, so he underwent a colonoscopy, which he said "ruled a lot of stuff out," but didn't provide any new answers. Some doctors thought he might have gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD, a chronic form of...

In the recently released documentary Gary, a surprising revelation about the late actor Gary Coleman‘s health has come to light.

The documentary takes us on a rollercoaster ride through Coleman’s personal struggles, from his money troubles to his rocky relationships, but the most mind-blowing fact is that Coleman survived without any kidneys for nearly 25 years. Let that sink in for a moment.
