A member asked:
I have enlarged lymph glands in the groin. does this warrant further testing? what could cause this? im a breast cancer survivor of ten years.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If nedded, bx: The presence of a persistent lesion in the groin should be evaluated. If 1 cm or > and no primary cause, then biopsy should be performed. Many breast cancers are associated with the MMTV virus. This same virus can enter the Wnt-1 gene of the lymphocyte to induce transformation to lymphoma, so that care must be taken not to miss such a lesion.
