Neck lumps and their link to head and neck cancer
Finding a lump in your neck can be concerning, and it’s natural to wonder what it might indicate. Neck lumps are common and often have benign (non-cancerous) causes, such as swollen lymph nodes due to infection. However, in some cases, a lump in the neck may be linked to more serious health issues, including head and neck cancer. We speak to leading ENT head and neck surgeon Mr Andrew Moore, who helps guide you through what a neck lump might mean, what symptoms to look out for, and when to seek medical advice.
