A member asked:
On average how long does colon cancer take to metastasize from when it first started forming? im just curious.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Variable: Nobody knows this answer, because some patients have metastasis at diagnosis, and some don't, even with the same tumor size. I would think it would be measured in weeks to months however, maybe even years for some. Hope this helps!
