A member asked:

How long does it take from mild dysplasia esophugus to reach cancer.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unpredictable: It may take forever, or sometimes 5-7 years, in any case if your GI doctor believes that yoi have dysplasia, he or she probably would advise you on measures to prevent further progression of this condition whether with help of medications or dietary changes, or both.
