How Are Blood Tests Used in Cancer Diagnosis?

Blood tests can indicate the presence of cancer or monitor the effectiveness of treatment. Key blood tests include:
Complete blood count (CBC) to detect abnormalities in blood cells
Tumor marker tests to identify specific proteins associated with certain cancers
Genetic tests to identify mutations linked to cancer
While blood tests alone cannot diagnose cancer, they provide valuable information that can guide further testing.
