If it is cancer then it will be traeted. there are various options which will be chosen as to the type of cancer and your medical history. There is:-
Chemotherapy. Basically a drug which kills the cancer cells from inside.
Radiotherapy. using X rays to kill the cells
Surgery. Removal of the mass.

Fingers crossed that you're worrying for nothing, you do seem young to be a potential victim;
