A 34-year-old man visits a primary care clinic because his family says that his voice sounds hoarse and he finds that he needs to clear his throat often. During the initial visit, he tells you that he returned from military service 1 year ago and that his routine physical exam 6 months ago was normal. He is slightly overweight and currently smokes 1 pack of cigarettes a day and has done so since age 20. He denies experiencing any heartburn or regurgitation, although he has upper abdominal discomfort. He has no family history of esophageal cancer. His hoarseness has developed over the last 2 months.
A case study for primary care doctors also for us too.
