Can A Movable Lump On Neck Be A Cancer?

I smoke about 4-5 cigarettes a day and for about a month have been feeling a little lump with soreness on the left side of my neck. If I touch it it feels like it is clicking or moving. I also have ear soreness and pain and stiffness in the front and back of my shoulder. Could this be cancer?
