A member asked:
Possible at all for a cancerous tumor to stay the same size and shape for 4 years without any treatment?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stable mass: It is possible that is could be a slow growing tumor which later can "transform" into something aggressive and start growing. No growth in 4 years is quite reassuring for being benign.
