Please describe the tell tale signs that a lump is cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If in doubt...: Get it seen. Neck lumps that are stable, slightly tender, unfixed to surrounding structure and smooth are usually lymph nodes. Otherwise if a mass is present for two weeks or more, it deserves a physician's attention.
