Have Three Growths In Neck, Advised FNB After Ultrasound. Is It Goiter Or Cancer? Have Family History Of Cancer
Good evening, I had an ultrasound last Wednesday and was told I need a FNB tomorrow. I have 3 growths on my neck, largest approx 5 cm, noticed only in the past 6 weeks. Do you think it's a goiter or possible cancer? I have 3 sisters with cancer. One of my sisters had sarcoma on sternum and uterine, all 3 had breast cancer.

Dear,
It neither seems to be prostate cancer nor a goitre.The nodes need to be evaluated. FNB or open biopsy of one of these nodes will confirm the problem. Medically there are many reasons to have the lymphadenopathy in the neck. Let the biopsy confirm it.
