The diagnosis of abdominal and pelvic cancers typically involves a combination of methods:
Imaging Tests: CT scans, MRIs, and ultrasounds help visualize the tumors. Biopsy: A sample of tissue is taken for laboratory analysis to confirm the presence of cancer cells. Blood Tests: Tumor markers and other blood tests can provide additional information. Endoscopy: A flexible tube with a camera is used to examine internal organs like the stomach and colon.
