Does finding a lump always mean cancer?

No, most lumps and unusual growths turn out to be benign, but any new or persistent lump should be evaluated promptly to rule out cancer.

How is the right treatment chosen?

Can cancer be prevented?

Avoiding tobacco, maintaining a healthy weight, staying physically active, protecting skin from sun exposure, and attending regular cancer screenings can meaningfully reduce risk for many cancer types.
