A member asked:
For what length of time can someone have abnormal cells before they become pre-cancerous or cancerous?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Life: Some abnormal cells never become "cancerous" or clinically significant. The rate of change from pre-cancer to cancer is dependent on the cancer type as well as the individual and may be difficult to predict for any one person.
