Can armpit lump lead to cancer
Hi my mom is 56 year old and has recently developed a lump in her armpit on the right side. It is quite big enough and can be palpable. Not very painful but visible little above the skin too. Can this lump be cancerous? Kindly suggest which tests should be done to find what is the lump due to?
