Common Questions and Answers about Head and neck cancer market size

neck

Avatar n tn Lymph nodes enlarge when there is an infection. The head and neck area have an extensive network of lymph nodes. These lymph nodes function like a filter, and thus increase in size in the presence of infection to filter out organisms. Even with treatment, some lymph nodes remain enlarged. A recurrent infection would further increase the size of the lymph node. However, there are other conditions that can present with lymph node enlargement. Head and neck malignancy is an example.

Avatar f tn Hello, I'm a 21 year old female, around the beginning of June I noticed a quarter sized lump on the lining of my jaw/ear lobe. Didn't think too much of it and just thought it was a swollen lymph node as I usually get them. Whenever I do get swollen lymph nodes, they usually appear from a cold and go away within the week, but I started noticing the lump wasn't changing in size, and also it was extremely tender to touch.
Avatar f tn I have a hard lump about halfway up the left side of my neck. It changes size, gets smaller, then if I touch it for a few seconds it starts to get bigger again. It's painless and it is moveable. I feel like it's lymphoma and I'm so scared. I'm on Vacation now so can't go to dr so I'm wondering if this points to any kind of cancer for that matter. Please help me!

Avatar f tn Hi!! Thanks for you input.. The lump I can only feel if I tilt my head to the side or press very hard- it is about the size of a small pea- and sometimes I can't find out Could it be there because I scratch my scalp a lot because of it's dryness? What was ur moms tumor like and her symtpoms?
Avatar m tn I am an 18 yearold girl, i dont use any tobacco products, drink heavily, and have never been diagnosed with hpv. nor does and head or neck cancer run in my family. About three months ago i got a sore throat and it would get better for a week then worse, i had no other symptoms of a cold. I noticed about a month ago that i had a bump about the size of slightly larger quarter on the back side of my neck.
Avatar n tn Hi. I have been a tired lately and a few weeks ago I noticed a swollen lymph node on the right side of my neck. It's about 1,5cm. I can't feel lymph nodes on the other side of my neck and the lymph nodes on my joints feel a lot smaller. I have also been itching a lot for a month now on my arms, shoulders, legs and chest. I didn't think it was abnormal until i got really tired and noticed the lymph node. Moisturizing it doesn't work for it. Should I be worried or go to the doctor?
Avatar f tn I have a movable, pea (or smaller) sized lump in (upper) front of my right ear and right on the area where you feel your jaw open when opening mouth wide. It cannot be 'seen'. No pain or change in size for at least 20 years. I found it years ago when massaging a sore jaw joint. It sort of feels like it's in a tendon and in front of the Tragus.
Avatar n tn She has paralysis on the left side. It was confirmed with a camera that was put down her throat. She seen the doctor yesterday. She had a CEA blood test, cat scan yesterday and she goes in Thursday for a PET scan and a biopsy on Friday of the node in her neck. I asked the doctor about the size of the lesion, he said it wasn't the size it's what in it...what do you think? Thanks for responding.
Avatar m tn I was having pain and little wound in my head. I went to hospital and they did CAT scan and there was no blooding inside a head. Everything was fine. They say i had bad sinus and they gave me antibiotic for a week that was 875 mg. Then i m having direhha. Within almost 6 month i did CBC test 4 time everyhing fine and normal. In this period i took some antibiotic for my lymph node. But it is not going to its normal size. I m having watery tools from 4 month thats not diarehha.
Avatar f tn Can allergies and my cavity be a cause for this? And for the one on the back of my head I googled it and it said cancer is very unlikely for that to swell that it's very very rare which gave me relief , and that a head infection is very common even dandruff which I've been dealing with dandruff . Please let me know so I can have some piece in mind.
Avatar f tn A lot of time nodules are only discovered when they reach a large size that is easily felt by doctors or can be seen as bulge on the neck, and nodules larger than 2 cm are more likely to be cancer than if they are smaller than 2 cm. Since you have a cyst, and it is small, your chance of cancer is at a much lower risk than someone who walks in with a 4 cm solid nodule. I'm sorry you have to go through this - I know finding thyroid nodules and cysts can be very scary.

Avatar m tn lymphh nodes, i touch all of them almost every day and have been to the doctor and he touched them and said it was dandruff irritation they been here for 3 months now.

Avatar n tn m thinking because of those lumps) and also sometimes when I turn my head (especially whilst talking/eating) I get a shooting nerve sensation along my neck and up to the side of my head, comparable to the feeling when the nerve in the elbow is struck.
Avatar f tn Yesterday I noticed a large lump on the side of my neck which I assume is a swollen lymph node. The connection of lymph nodes and cancer has made me an emotional wreck. And GOOGLE. ....Google is bad when it comes to self diagnosing! I made an apt with my GP for today to check out lump. Should I let my Gyn know too? I am in a bit of panic and just wanted to express my concerns to an understanding crowd.
611254 tn?1223914841 My concern is that my symptoms are extreme fatigue, itchy neck, face and ear canals, I feel like I have (sorry)phlegm stuck in my throat but most troubling is a hard lump on the side of my neck. It is about the size of a large marble. It is painless, immobile and hard. I have a constant 'kink' in my neck and the pain is getting worse. I feel as though I'm pulling my neck when i turn it sometimes.
Avatar f tn My 84 yo mother developed an egg size growth under her left ear on her neck. It prevents some movement and is very sore to the touch.
Avatar n tn I feel that since the swelling is hard and fixed,a CT head(to rule out any bony swelling) and biopsy of the swelling (to find the cause of swelling) are required. Hope my efforts to guide you will prove helpful. Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries.

Avatar f tn Herbal concoction was studied, tweaked, tested, formulated ONLY for cancer and named by Rene Caisse, Head Nurse at the Sisters of Providence Hospital in northern Ontario. This is the original ESSIAC cancer formula I speak of. Not to be confused with the old native formula. And its description as a tonic nowadays, for commercial purposes is only because of legalities. She was allowed at first only stage 4 patients by the head oncologist in her hospital .
914782 tn?1243435663 I recently had CT scan of head and neck that revealed I have 4 tumors. Three of the tumors are on my jugular (the largest measures 1cm) and one is on my thyroid(measures 1.5cm and is hypodense). This all by itself has made me a nervous wreck because the first thing that comes to my mind is the big scary "C" word. I've had a 'lump' on the left side of my neck just below my ear for approx. 8 years.
Avatar n tn I have had 24/7 pain for over a year on the left side of my head, neck and shoulder. I just found out I have a cyst. Can a complex thyroid cyst on the thyroid gland cause pain? Also, an SSEP test came back abnormal. Could a complex thyroid cyst cause an SSEP test to be abnormal?
