Chronic acid reflux increases the risk of throat cancer.

INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
2 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that chronic acid reflux increases the risk of throat cancer?

Unclear. The retrieved items address reflux as a risk factor for esophageal adenocarcinoma and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, not for throat (laryngeal/pharyngeal) cancer. One cohort reports roughly a two-fold higher esophageal cancer risk with GERD, and one thesis describes reflux-driven Barrett's metaplasia progressing to adenocarcinoma; neither settles the throat cancer claim.
