...it might manifest into cancer 10- or 20-years later.

The doctor advised me to remove the lump, as it might manifest into cancer 10- or 20-years later.

Is 10- or 20-years correctly used?

Thanks.

No. No hyphens (and "manifest" is wrong): "The doctor advised me to remove the lump, as it might turn into cancer 10 or 20 years later."
