How to test if you have cancer or swollen lymph nodes in neck?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See a doc: Swollen lymph nodes can be caused by cancer but also other things like infection. Your doctor will evaluate you and determine if it's proper to watch them for a little while of if they are significant enough to warrant a biopsy. Best to you.
