What Are The Chances Of A Uterine Fibroid Being Cancerous?
My sister just had ultra sound and they found a 4 centimeter mass in uterus and did 2 biopsies. They also found fibroids. What are the chances the mass is cancerous? I understand that you can t guess but can they be sometimes benign? What are the possibilities of something serious. She will be having a hysterectomy. She is 65 years old. Thank you for your time.
