Doctor links smoking with throat cancer
A prominent U.S. physician says 80 per cent of all throat cancer in North America may be due to cigaret smoking and the use of alcohol. Dr. Arnold Aronson of the Mayo Medical School in Rochester, Minn. said there is increasing evidence that smoking causes organic illness affecting the voice box.
Speaking to about 150 health and education specialists at the annual convention of the Manitoba Speech and Hearing Association, Dr. Aronson said: ”Smoking and throat cancer are very, very closely related and so are alcohol use and throat cancer. They are the two most damaging practices as far as the human voice box is concerned. ”We have good statistics on this.
There is hardly a patient who develops cancer of the larynx who isn’t a smoker or regular user of alcohol.’ Dr. Aronson, a pipe smoker, said the malignant damage relates directly to inhalation of smoke and passage of alcohol through the affected throat region. ”Pipe and cigar smokers usually don’t inhale or keep the smoke in their mouths for a long time. Scientific belief is that the damage is done by the smoke itself, not by nicotine as a chemical,” he said.
