An 11 mm tumor is approximately the size of a marble, which typically has a diameter of about 16 mm. To provide some context, 11 mm is slightly less than half an inch. Tumor sizes can be significant in determining treatment options and prognosis, as larger tumors may indicate more advanced disease.
