Guest guest Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 My understanding is that a tumor has to be 1 cm. in size to be picked up by a mammogram, about 2 to be picked up by self exam. To reach 1 cm. it has been lurking in your breast for about 10 years. Another way to put it, on average it takes one cancer cell 100 days to double, another for the two to double and so on.
