How long does it take to determine whether a lymph node has cancer or not?

In my case, it took about a week. It was reviewed after the biopsy by my local hospital pathologist and then sent to Stanford Medical center for a confirmation. So it could take up to 10 days to be absolutely positive. Mine turned out to be Hodgkins Lymphoma. Good luck, Kristin

What are the stats on a swollen lymph node referred for biopsy being finally diagnosed as cancer?
If this is one swollen lymph node out of several swollen lymph nodes, the chances of cancer certainly are higher than just a solitary swollen lymph node. It also depends just where the node in question is located. If it's in the anterior (the front of the neck, like under your jaw) area, and you are a long-time smoker and heavy alcohol drinker, your chances are certainly higher. I am unable to give you a % of cancer. If it's under your arm, and you have several other enlarged nodes --to include the inside of the elbow-- that can certainly suggest malignancy until a negative pathology is returned... Sorry, without more information it is impossible to answer this question, and even then I'd really prefer your physician answer this one...
