A member asked:

What are the chances a vaginal lump is cancer if glandular cysts have been ruled out? both my parents had cancer one passed away 10 years ago.

Vaginal lump: This vaginal lump should be evaluated by a MD before any pronouncement is made as to whether it is likely to be cancerous or not. Your family history does not permit a Las Vegas type "gamble on the odds".
