Question 1

how fast does basalcell cancer spread?

Accepted Answer

Slowly: Basal cell carcinomas are among the slowest growing tumors. Prompt treatment is still warranted if the lesion is near the eye, nose or mouth. You may consult this site for more info: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/basal-cell-carcinoma/symptoms-causes/syc-20354187
Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

Question 2

how fast do aggressive and slow cancers spread?

Accepted Answer

Quite variable: The range of growth rates for cancers is very variable and can change over time.

Question 3

how fast does ovarian cancer spread?

Accepted Answer

It's variable.: Some ovarian cancers spread very slowly - over years, even. The most common form of ovarian cancer likely spreads more quickly than that (weeks to months), but every patient with ovarian cancer is different.

Question 4

why does cancer spread so fast after surgery?

Accepted Answer

This is a Myth: There is no scientific data to support the notion that cancer spreads fast after surgery (or when cancer is exposed to air during surgery). This is a total myth. This belief tends to be more common in the south.

Question 5

how fast does colon cancer spread?

Accepted Answer

It depends: Some cancers grow slowly and others rapidly. At this point we cannot predict what will happen on an individual basis but as we learn more about the biology that day will come.

Question 6

how fast will colon cancer spread in 2 weeks?

Accepted Answer

Not fast: Cancer is thought to spread over several weeks-months of time, not days to weeks. As such, the commission on cancer has guidelines for treatment that cover 7-21 days from presentation to treatment. That is not to say that there are not unusual cases of cancer that seem to be remarkably aggressive, colon cancer is usually not one of them.

Question 7

how long does it take uterine cancer to develop and how fast does it spread?

Accepted Answer

Varies: Each cancer is unique. Some will grow very rapidly and spread to distant sites of the body at an early stage. Others will grow slowly and never metastasize. It is very difficult to predict.

Question 8

how fast can breast cancer spread?

Accepted Answer

Variable: First and foremost, not all breast cancers spread:  many are confined to the breast without any ability to travel to other organs.  For those that 'spread', the growth rates vary between months to decades before they become detectable.  Furthermore, chemotherapy may eradicate these cells that have spread, and they may never become evident.

Question 9

how fast does stage 3 endometrial cancer spread?

Accepted Answer

Already spread: Endometrial cancer (EC) is surgically staged. By definition, a stage 3 EC has already spread outside of the uterus and may involve the membrane lining (serosa), the vagina, the tissue adjacent to the uterus (adnexa) and may include the ovaries and the tissue that separates the upper portion of the cervix from the bladder (parametrium).

Question 10

my grandmother had cancer in other areas and its been removed. she has cancer also in her bones, how fast does bone cancer spread?

Accepted Answer

Likely not from bone: From your question, it sounds like your grandmother has previously had cancer and it was treated. The cancer "also in her bones" is most likely the same cancer. Most likely what is there has spread (metastasized) from her primary site, i.e., the cancer you are talking about is already a product of "spread." While unlikely at her age she has a primary bone cancer, please clarify with her physician.
