Does every cancer spread if left untreated?
1 day ago
Does every cancer spread if it is not treated, or can some cancers stay in the same place for years? What decides whether cancer will spread or not?

Not all cancers spread at the same rate, some cancers, like certain low-grade or indolent types, can remain localized for years, while others are more aggressive and spread quickly.
Whether a cancer spreads depends on factors such as the type of cancer, its grade, genetic characteristics, and the individual’s immune response.
However, leaving any cancer untreated is generally not advisable, as even slow-growing cancers can eventually progress. It is important to consult an oncologist for proper evaluation and a personalized treatment plan.
