My aunt had a "knot" come up on the left side of her neck. it's visible from across the room and when feeling of it it seems to be about 1 in or bigger. she has a strong family history of cancer.

Evaluation needed: Even without a family history of cancer, palpable lumps in the neck need medical evaluation. Your aunt should see a physician soon, have a thorough evaluation and possibly biopsy. Don't delay. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
