Swollen lymph nodes

2020-08-17 12:51:38
My problem is i m suffering from posterior cervical lymph node swelling from 8 months. Size is 1.2*0.7cm and it is not increasing. It was painful before but now its ok. Fnac done two times both came with similar results.No other lymph node is swelled nd no other symptoms till date. Should i go for excisional biopsy. Is there still a risk of cancer.
