ENT is right: Warthin tumors are benign and if there are no symptoms do not be in a hurry to have surgery. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

A member asked:
Can docs diagnose cancer in a parotid gland from a single cat scan with contrast? Or would biopsy and/or additional tests/scans be needed to confirm? Next appointment is with oncologist (before seeing ENT) after finding growth on cat scan. Do I worry?
