Question : I have been told that calcification of glands may indicate cancer. Is that accurate, and if so, is there anything else it could be besides cancer?

Brief Answer:
Hello. Calcification doesnot mean cancer

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear. I have gone through the query. So a calcified node represents a healed lesion most likely infection. It doesnot represent cancer.
Thanks and regards
