Cancer [...] La taille de la tumeur primitive est un facteur important dans la survenue de métastases. Les études de cinétiques cellulaires estiment qu'il faut en moyenne 10 ans (1,5 à 20 ans) entre la survenue des premières cellules cancéreuses et la découverte clinique de la tumeur mesurée entre 0,5 et 1,5 cm. Le temps de doublement établi à partir de malades refusant le traitement est d'environ 3 mois (extrêmes = 1 semaine à 1 an). 1, record 2, French, - temps%20de%20doublement

Tiempo de duplicación: el tiempo que le toma a una célula dividirse y duplicarse. Las células cancerosas presentan un tiempo de duplicación que puede variar entre 8 a 600 días, con un promedio de 100 a 120 días. Por lo tanto, un cáncer puede estar presente durante muchos años antes de que se pueda percibir. 1, record 2, Spanish, - tiempo%20de%20duplicaci%C3%B3n
