The rate at which cancer metastasizes is extremely variable. The answer depends on a number of factors, including the type of cancer (eg, pancreatic adenocarcinoma, breast ductal carcinoma in situ, small cell lung cancer), clinical findings (enlarged lymph nodes, systemic signs and symptoms, etc.), pathological interpretation (how malignant the cells looked under a microscope, whether there was invasion into nearby tissues, etc.), among others. Many of these variables are accounted for in the staging of a particular individual's cancer.
It all depends on the type, where it is located, and if it's caught in enough time to prevent the spread. It can spread very very quickly though. It can become Metastatic meaning that it entered the blood stream from another place in the body and spread to the brain and other parts... It really just depends. http://www.cancer.org/docroot/home/index.asp
Different forms of cancer develop at vastly different rates and may be unpredictable. skin cancer can form in days while breast cancer could take weeks or months to develop for example.
umm yes because ms donlnald said and denise hengien and danson
It really doesn't have a time limit. Hopefully it won't kill you. It all depends on how fast it can kill your lungs!
Cancers cells multiply very rapidly, and their rates vary open individual cancer cell type. It typically takes a few years for a few cells to multiply to billions.
Very quickly.
Faster than the doctors can keep up with.
very fast
They tend to grow rapidly
Two types of tumors are benign and malignant tumors. Benign tumors are usually harmless and grow at a slow rate. However, they can grow larger and become problematic. Malignant tumors are the opposite, growing at a fast rate and causing serious health problems.
These fast-growing, malignant tumors are now believed to originate in developing cells not normally present in the body after birth
Rhabdomyosarcomas are rare types of muscle tumors. They typically grow on the tissue of striated muscle. These tumors are usually malignant.
By the very definition 'malignant', absolutely. Malignant tumors contain carcinoma - or cancer. If left unchecked, they grow bigger, metastasize, and new tumors will grow elsewhere.
Malignant brain tumors do not have distinct borders
A potentially life-threatening mass of cancerous cells. Malignant tumors are ambitious. Unlike benign tumors that generally stay put, malignant tumors have two goals in life: to survive and to conquer new territory. So, if you have a malignant tumor in your colon, it's going to try to work its way through your colon. If successful, it will see where else it can go. This is called metastasizing. In general, malignant tumors grow faster than benign tumors and are more likely to cause health problems.
Malignant tumors
It is highly unusual for malignant brain tumors to spread beyond the central nervous system
Benign tumors are consistent , unchanging. Whereas, malignant are quite inconsistent. They change often times in color and form.
No, not all tumors are malignant. Tumors can be classified as either benign or malignant. Benign tumors are non-cancerous and do not typically spread to other parts of the body, while malignant tumors are cancerous and have the potential to invade nearby tissues and spread to other parts of the body.
No, not all tumors are harmful. Tumors can be broadly classified into two categories: benign tumors and malignant tumors. Benign Tumors: Benign tumors are non-cancerous growths that do not invade nearby tissues or spread to other parts of the body. These tumors grow slowly and typically have a well-defined border. While they may cause symptoms or health problems depending on their size and location, they are not considered life-threatening. Examples of benign tumors include uterine fibroids, lipomas (fatty tumors), and moles. Malignant Tumors: Malignant tumors, also known as cancerous tumors, are growths of abnormal cells that can invade nearby tissues and spread to other parts of the body through a process called metastasis. These tumors grow rapidly and can be life-threatening if left untreated. Malignant tumors can originate from various types of tissue in the body and are classified based on the type of tissue they arise from. Examples of malignant tumors include breast cancer, lung cancer, and melanoma. It's important to note that while benign tumors are not cancerous, they may still require medical attention if they cause symptoms or complications. Additionally, some benign tumors have the potential to become malignant over time, although this is relatively uncommon. Therefore, any new or unusual growth should be evaluated by a healthcare professional to determine whether further testing or treatment is necessary.
