Diagnosing cancer subtypes typically involves a combination of techniques:
- Biopsy: The gold standard for diagnosing cancer, where a sample of tissue is removed and examined under a microscope. - Imaging Tests: Techniques like CT scans, MRIs, and PET scans help visualize the location and extent of the cancer. - Molecular Testing: This involves analyzing the genetic material of cancer cells to identify specific mutations and biomarkers.
