Take a second opinion from another ENT specialist prefer you consult someone Senior in experience so that you can get a honest second opinion. It is always better to obtain a honest second opinion from a more experienced Senior ENT Surgeon if you are not getting relief from your symptoms. Throat cancer can be prevented in early stages. There are precancerous conditions in the throat if identified early the patient need not suffer from throat cancer.. especially in throat prevention is better than cure. So please obtain a second opinion from a Senior ENT specialist ASAP.

LPRD means laryngopharyngeal reflux disorder and it is a type of acidity related disorder of throat. It is different from GERD which is gastro esophageal reflux disorder. LPRD has no relation to cancer where as GERD can lead to oesophagus cancer in few individuals. So you are safe and you have no chances of any cancer
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
