A member asked:
Non tender, painless, hard, multiple, larger than 1.6 cm swollen cervical lymph nodes for 2.5 years. most likely cancerous in terms of probability?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not cancer.: If your lymph nodes are not enlarging over time, they are probably not cancer. If concerned, have them evaluated by your primary physician or ear/nose/throat physician.
