A member asked:
How can i know if i have any chest lymph nodes, are they palpable?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lymphadenopathy: This depends upon where the nodes are located. If they are superficial, in the axillae or the supraclavicular area they are easily palpated, but nodes in the mediastinum must be detected using imaging studies.
