Will a uterine fibroid of 10mm turn into cancer?

Patient's question:

My mom had an X-ray, and the doctor said it was a uterine fibroid, about ten centimeters. Is it absolutely impossible for it to turn into cancer? I want to protect my mom's privacy and take care of her. What symptom description would be more appropriate?

Doctor's answer:

The possibility of uterine fibroids transforming into tumors in the situation you mentioned is very, very small. With such a large fibroid, surgery is a viable option for you.
In the situation you described, the likelihood of uterine fibroids transforming into tumors is very, very small, and with such a large fibroid, surgery is a suitable choice for you.
When patients face the interference of uterine fibroids, we should actively adopt treatment measures and avoid delaying medical consultation. If uterine fibroids do not respond to treatment over time, it is important to promptly reassess and adjust the treatment plan.
