Hello,

Just mere presence of lumps in the hand, feet and ankle is not cancer. Firstly, you didn't mention about the age.

If you are elderly these lumps in ankle hand and feet inflammatory conditions like gout or rheumatic arthritis.

You have to take an X-ray and based on the radio-logical findings and few biochemical investigations like CRP, RF, ESR clinician will decide what to do.

My suggestion is please consult rheumatologist or orthopedician for opinion and further management.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Siddartha
