I have been suffering sore throat and phlegm for months now. Is it a symptom of cancer. I lost my father to lung cancer 8 years back. Please advice.

Hi... Ideally the answer is yes it can be.. but is not the only disease having the same symptoms... so instead of directly reaching on to such grave conclusion you should get properly examined... and get diagnosed... even cancer is curable now a days if diagnosed and treated in time...
