Description
Haimi-Cohen and co-authors present a 2024 study on which swollen neck glands in children hide cancer. Most such lumps are harmless, and cutting every one out is its own harm. Records for 450 children at a tertiary clinic across thirteen years were mined. Twenty-five children, about six percent, turned out to have a malignancy.
Older age, bigger nodes, and certain sites, above the collarbone and along the neck's side, raised the odds. Appetite loss and weight loss added warning weight, as did odd imaging. Fever and night sweats, classic fears, showed no link. Past age twelve and a half, one child in five proved malignant. The authors offer the pattern to guide biopsy choices.
