A member asked:

37-female friend recently told me she's afraid that she's got throat cancer, as she's smoked and vaped for a while now. she's developed a lump on her neck that she can pop, but it comes back and the smell when its popped is awful. is cancer likely?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely: The cited symptom does not appear to be related to any cancer. It sounds like she has a simple cyst that accumulated debris which returns over time. Proper treatment would likely require surgical removal of the cyst core which is often just an office procedure under a local.
