A member asked:

How much time do you half to have cancer for it to be. to late to take it out?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It varies: A basal cell on the skin can sit and grow for a decade before it becomes inoperable. An oat cell carcinoma of the lung has almost always spread by the time it's found. If you suspect you have a cancer, don't delay.
