A member asked:
Are there any non-malignant (benign) breast tumours/lumps that grow with time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Benign tumors do in fact grow but rather slowly , compared to malignant tumors. The main difference is that benign tumors will not kill you. If left untrated malignant tumors will eventualy kill you some sooner and others a little later . How fast they grow will determine how soon. Hope that helps you
