A patient with "swollen glands" should start a workup with a primary care provider, who can do the initial history and physical that will guide the choice of specialist. Depending on the history, physical and initial testing a referral may be made to a surgeon (for biopsy), to an infectious disease specialist (for infection) or an oncologist (if cancer).
