Lymph node cancer: how to recognize the most important symptoms

Symptoms

There are many different types of lymph node cancer. So many different types of symptoms fall under the general name of lymph node cancer, but the most common symptoms of this cancer are:

  • Weight loss without clear cause
  • Night sweats
  • Hard nodules under the armpit or in the neck
  • Itching
  • Fever
  • Fatigue

Treatment

It can be difficult to determine exactly when you should go to the doctor. With a simple cold, sore throat, or flu, the glands quickly swell. Are they swollen and painful for more than five days? Then make an appointment with the doctor. The doctor can determine if the swollen glands are actually cysts, fat bumps, or infections of the salivary glands. Doctors can also perform further examinations to rule out other causes.
