A member asked:

Should i worry about a lymph node in left supraclavicular even if it has almost 95% shrinked?

Supraclavicular node: Supraclavicular nodes are considered suspicious in that they often are swollen in cases of a malignancy, etc. I've had a patient or two in who no cancer was found. If there is a determined reason for their swelling and they're shrinking, then you may not worry. If there are other ones enlarged or the cause is undetermined, i'd recommend consulting with a doc to have the peace of mind.

Supraclavicular node: As long as the node is shrinking and you have no other suspicious nodes i would just watch. If begins to flare up i would certainly consider a biopsy.
