Possibly. why not see a doc about it.
Have you suffered from laryngitis in the past? And do you/have you smoked? That can make your voice hoarse.

Yikes! I wouldn't jump the gun. If you're a smoker, it could be smoker's throat, and not necessarily throat cancer. Nevertheless, it would be a good idea to get that checked out real quick, because if it is and it's in the early stages, cancers are cureable. You want to diagnose that NOW. I have a few friends who had cancer of different sorts, and they are in remition and living cancer free today... so get to it Dorothy and it will help you have a great Holiday season.

It's possible, but most likely due to either allergies (do you have a post-nasal drip at night?), very low humidity in your home might also contribute, and there is the possibility of acid reflux irritating your throat. You might want to try taking Prilosec for a week to see if it clears up. If not, you should probably see a doctor.

SEE A DOCTOR. Most likely not throat cancer, but you need to know for sure. In my case, I had a tumor wrapped around my throat that was impacting my voice and swallowing. It was Lymphoma. It may not be that with you, but you need to know!! Best wishes.

Are you a smoker? I read somewhere that smokers are prone to hoarseness. Check with your doctor though. Throat cancer is no joke and you want to make sure you are properly diagnosed.

I would take an appointment with a good ENT at the earliest and pay the doctor a visit for s total check up. It may be nothing or it may be everything.

why haven't you seen a doctor yet? thats too long to wait and see if it goes away by itself. there are many reasons for a hoarse voice but yes, cancer can be one of them

It could be a sign of singer's nodes on the vocal cords or just allergies.
