An exact amount of time cannot be assigned to tumor growth. The speed at which a tumor develops varies significantly.
Factors Influencing Tumor Growth Rate
Tumor growth rates are highly variable and influenced by a number of factors:
- Individual Differences: The speed by which cancer develops differs from person to person.
- Cancer Type: Different types of cancer grow at different rates.
Because of these variations, assigning a specific timeframe to tumor growth is impossible. While an exact timeframe is not possible, there are some similarities which can help in understanding cancer growth.
