In the pre-cancerous stage, many parts of the body will send out warning signals, including the neck.

Cancer is a dangerous disease, but fortunately, it does not appear suddenly. Before cancer develops, the body has gone through a long process of damage. If detected and intervened promptly at this stage, we can completely prevent the disease.

In recent years, the number of cancer cases has increased. In the pre-cancerous stage, many parts of the body will have warning signs, of which the neck area is often the most obvious. However, many people ignore these signs. Therefore, pay attention to your neck area starting today.

Below are 3 unusual signs in the neck that can warn of the risk of cancer.

1. Swollen Lymph Nodes in the Neck: Warning Signs of Lymphoma

Lymph nodes are an important part of the immune system, helping the body fight infections and other diseases. They are distributed throughout the body, especially concentrated in the neck area. The appearance of lymph nodes in the neck can be a normal sign but can also be an early warning of serious diseases, including neck lymphoma.

If you notice that the lymph nodes have the following unusual characteristics, be careful because it can be a sign of neck lymphoma or pre-cancer:

– Size larger than 1cm: The lymph nodes are abnormally large, especially if they continue to grow rapidly.

– Attached to surrounding tissue: The lymph nodes lose their mobility, attach to nearby structures, making it difficult for you to move them by hand.

– Unclear borders: The boundary between the lymph nodes and surrounding tissue cannot be clearly distinguished.

– Painful to the touch: Some cases of lymphoma can cause pain, especially if accompanied by inflammation or necrosis.

– Hard, solid density: Cancerous lymph nodes are often very hard, like a solid tumor.

If you experience the above signs, go to a medical facility immediately for examination, perform necessary tests such as ultrasound, biopsy to determine the exact cause and have a timely treatment plan. If cervical lymphadenopathy is detected early, there will be a better chance of treatment, helping to improve the quality of life and prolong the patient’s life.
