Does Having Small Lump Underneath Armpit Indicates Early Sign Of Cancer?

Hello. A few days ago, I found a small lump underneath my left armpit. It is about the size of a pea, is tender, and feels to move around underneath the skin. I went online and saw that this was, to many people, an early sign on various cancers. I wanted to know what a professional thought.
