Hi.a tissue diagnosis/biopsy will be of great help to establish if your neck lump is cancerous or not. Your doctor is probably completing his/her diagnostic examinations in doing those procedures that you've mentioned. Medical and possible surgical management will be directed accordingly. A general surgeon or an ENT could work on your case. Hope this helps. Good day!!~ Chat Doctor.
