How are rheumatologic disorders diagnosed in cancer patients?
Diagnosing rheumatologic disorders in cancer patients requires a multifaceted approach. A thorough clinical history and physical examination are essential. Additional tests may include: - Blood tests to check for inflammatory markers like C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). - Imaging studies such as X-rays, MRI, or CT scans. - Biopsies of affected tissues if necessary.
