Does Size Matter?
Does anyone know if the size of the tumour has an effect on the follow up treatment? It was removed with clear margins and my SNB was clear. My surgeon said the tumour was almost twice as big as he f...
I would go with whatever they said after the tumor was removed as it is only when it is out that they really can measure it
And yes, size does affect how it gets treated but so does the grade and the stage. It is the combination of the 3 that dictates how they proceed.
Mine was deemed 2.9mm pre surgery (and when they did the scans and the biopsy) but post surgery turned out to be 2.5mm so I guess it is only the 2nd result that you can really trust.
All the best
