A member asked:
Cluster of lymph nodes in groin not barely movable, armpits, neck, thighs, for past 3 years, how can you tell if a cluster if nodes are cancerous by feel?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You cannot: The only way to confirm cancer is with a biopsy an evaluation of the tissues removed. Feel alone only tells you there is something there and it may need further attention.
