7 Symptoms of Salivary Gland Cancer

3. Pain in the face, chin, jaw, or neck

Usually, this type of cancer is identified by a lump or swelling near the jaw which is not accompanied by pain. Sometimes, the growth can become big enough to cause discomfort in the jaw or neck. The stage of cancer depends on the size and location of the cancer growth. The earlier it is detected, the better the prognosis. If you detect a foreign growth—on any part of the body—don't wait until it becomes bigger and more painful. See a doctor immediately for the best treatment possible.
