A member asked:
I had bladder cancer 10 yrs ago. simple cyst in left kidney was 3mm, now 8mm and read as complex. what is the probability of malignancy?

Possible.: Difficult to give you probability statistics in this setting, but any complex cyst requires close monitoring. With your history of bladder cancer, though, i encourage you to follow up with your urologist for his/her opinion. Malignancy unfortunately is not out of the question, but would be much easier to manage sooner rather than waiting until later. Best of luck to you.
