A member asked:
Slightly enlarged right clavicle lymph node. what are other causes besides cancer. everything i read says its bad for that area. no other symptoms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Often normal: I see big nodes here all the time, in both healthy athletes and people who've died of unrelated disease or injury. If a node is big from cancer, the person can usually tell something is badly wrong. Best wishes.
