If i had a normal endoscopy two years ago, how likely is it that stomach cancer would have grown and shown up by now? does it grow that quickly?

Unpredictable: Cancer, if it is going to develop(we can not predict it) can show up in 2 years after a normal test. But why are you concerned about developing stomach Cancer in the first place??. Please give us some details of your medical history and why you asked this question. Then my answer may be more reliable and useful to you.

Almost none. : It would be very unlikely to have gastric cancer in this setting. Unless you had Barrett's Esophagus or some other potential pre-cancerous problem, your physician is probably doing it more to evaluate symptoms rather than concerning anything about cancer. If you want to schedule it, do not refuse. Good luck.
