A member asked:
My inferior deep cervical glands on the right side of the neck have been swollen for 11 months now. possible risk of cancer? no other symptoms

Yes: Possible risk, especially if they are significantly enlarged and if you have swollen glands (lymph nodes) elsewhere or if they are growing in size. It would really help to have someone take a look at this. Symptoms like these are best evaluated in person by your physician. Based on the findings, a treatment plan can be developed to help you.

There is a risk: Having swollen glands for 1 months is concerning. Is it infection or cancer? What type of cancer; lymphoma or hodgkin or...? We do not know. The lack of symptoms could indicate ealy and limited disease with high cure rate. Delay translates into lesser chances of cure and long-term survival. Please go to a doctor asap. Let us know. We will be glad to folow up with you. Thanks for the enquiry.
