Hello, after suffering from lichen planus in my throat for many years and endless dilatations, I had biopsies in July as my throat had been very sore for around 18 months. The results were high grade dysplasia (pre-cancerous cells) in my oropharynx area. Every time I swallow it hurts and more so with food. The doctors have told me that the dysplasia could turn into cancer in the future and I am waiting to have treatment called EMR (endoscopic mucosal resection) which is really worrying as the whole circumference of my throat is involved. I wonder if anyone else has had this treatment and can give me some reassurance.
