A member asked:
Will a benign tumor spread? my wife had an mri done about 3 years ago and the doc said that it was benign. now the tumor seems to have grown.

Not likely: A benign tumor by definition does not metastasize to distant parts of the body. A benign tumor like a uterine fibroid can frequently grow but almost never will turn into a cancer.
