Isn't the general rule five years? I say this as a person with a possible malignant tumor who basically got watched like a hawk for five years at which point they said "Well probably not cancer but we will do follow-ups every five years instead of every six months now as there has literally be zero change in five years".
PS: And before others opine, it's not possible to diagnosis all tumors via imaging nor (non-full removal) biopsy and often the removal has serious chronic side effects which especially aren't worth it for the more common scenario, benign.
