Considering this, can hoarseness be a sign of cancer?

Hoarseness is a common symptom in lung cancer patients, although it can be caused by other conditions as well. Hoarseness can also occur due to cancer in the larynx (larynx cancer, different than lung cancer), which is most often caused by tobacco use.

Additionally, how long does hoarseness last? Usually, the problem goes away after several days with self-care and by resting your voice. However, hoarseness can be more than a temporary nuisance. I recommend that anyone experiencing hoarseness who hasn't gotten better after two weeks should see a doctor. Hoarseness can result from numerous treatable problems.

Other causes of hoarseness include: vocal cord paralysis.
