A lump or sore that does not heal or go away may be harmless or a sign of head and neck cancer. Throat masses may also be a symptom of thyroid conditions. You should contact your doctor if you experience a lump, mass, difficulty swallowing or breathing, and pain. Not all lumps are cancerous, but it is important to find out to begin treatment promptly. We have the expertise to diagnose head, neck, and thyroid masses and formulate a treatment plan based on your individual needs.
