How serious is a 12 x 8mm tumor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on site: A 12x 8 mm lesion is about 1/2 inch in size. If in pancreas it is dangerous, In lung it can be resected. If if muscle and malignant it can easily be removed. The aggressiveness also depends on the histologic grading where a low grade tumor can be cured and a high grade lesion has to be treated more aggressively.
