The 18-time Grand Slam singles champion, who previously had breast cancer in 2010, will start treatment in New York later this month.
Navratilova, 66, said both cancers had been caught at an early stage.
"The double whammy is serious, but fixable, and I'm hoping for a favourable outcome," she said. "It's going to stink for a while, but I'll fight with all I have got."
Navratilova noticed an enlarged lymph node in her neck during November's WTA Finals in Fort Worth, Texas.
A subsequent biopsy revealed stage one throat cancer.
During the tests, a lump was also discovered in her breast, which was later diagnosed as an unrelated cancer.

Gabriela Sabatini is my GOAT.
oops
I wish the best for Martina. It sounds very serious. Although I am wondering why she thought it necessary to hold a press conference about it? Perhaps she still thinks like a celebrity, and figured someone else would be coming out with this same revelation.
Her throat cancer is the HPV type which in the words of Michael Douglas you get from “eating p****y”. I am sure she’s eaten quite a few.
After all, guys are more at risk of throat cancer doing oral on women.
Luckily for her it’s also very treatable and hers was caught in stage 1
I seem to recall her objecting to the transgender lunacy, at least in sports.
well in general she seems to be a decent human being with failings like the rest of us....I wish her good luck.
Yes, Michael Douglas attributed his cancer to his practice of cunnilingus.
“Gabriela Sabatini is my GOAT.”
Yeah, I always thought she was cute.
As long as she doesn’t listen to the MDs, she can beat this.
My first suspicion.
*ick*
Two independent cancers are not the same as a cancer that has spread. Good luck to her, it’s a tough road ahead.
What’s a GOAT?
But matches between her and Martina were the greatest show in all of sports during the 70s and 80s.
Since when has “GOAT” become a good thing? I remember growing up, if you were a bad player on a team you were considered to be a GOAT, as in SCAPEGOAT. The GOAT was blamed for everything that went wrong.
Sorry, GOAT = Greatest Of All Time is JUST STUPID.
