Can my doctor tell by an ultrasound if my swollen lymphnode is cancerous? the stress is killing me
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Just one step: The more definite test is to biopsy or remove the lymph node and send to pathology.An ultrasound may tell if the lymph node looks pathological or abnormal bu5 will not be a definite test one way or another.
