A member asked:
What is the probability that a 0.5 cm neck mass (hard but not rock hard) is cancer?it is on the right back side of the neck
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hard to say: Unless an exam, lab work and possibly biopsy is done it is hard to give a probability of whether this is cancer. Characteristics of something cancerous are fixed masses, large, painful in nature. Should there be more concern please see your doctor for more answers.
