A member asked:

Persistent(five years)1.4x1.5cm lymphnode and 1.4cm cyst in armpit lymphoma? i'm 18 u/s was inconclusive. biopsy in 2 days. what are chances of cancer

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely cancer: I assume that you have had full work up with lab testing and physical exam prior to scheduled biopsy in 2 days. At 18 yrs old, and stable symptoms for 5 yrs, cancer unlikely but biopsy will be very important in making exact diagnosis. If your blood tests including Complete blood count & comprehensive chemistry panel normal, that is a good thing. Good luck with your biopsy and let us know report
