Doctors are often asked such questions by patients, but typically, they don't give a direct answer.
No one can guarantee such outcomes.
However, based on experience, doctors know that tumors take time to grow. Advising patients to have a check-up every six months is actually a confident decision.
It's essentially predicting that the tumor won't grow.
Which means surgery might not be necessary.
Moreover, even if it does grow, it's unlikely to grow significantly within six months. It shouldn't go from the size of a sesame seed to the size of a fist under normal circumstances.
If it truly grows from the size of a sesame seed to a diameter of one centimeter within six months, it's still not too late to operate then.
In reality, many imaging tests can't detect tumors smaller than 5 millimeters.
Clinically, tumors under 1 cm are considered microtumors.
