A member asked:
Cancerous tumor on lymph node in chest grew from 25/35 to 26/37 over last 2months.. would this be considered a fairly fast growing tumor ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Why do you ask?: "Fairly fast growing tumor" is not a term used in medicine. Cancers are unpredictable and deadly. The change in size might be within the variability of the scan to read and it could be stable for now. Many chest cancers grow much faster. The key is to discuss the case with physicians you trust getting a consult if you feel you need one.
