How Does Temporal Variability Affect Cancer Diagnosis?
Temporal variability can complicate cancer diagnosis. Traditional diagnostic methods often rely on a snapshot of the disease at a single point in time. However, because cancer can change rapidly, these methods may not always capture the full extent of the disease. Advanced diagnostic techniques, such as liquid biopsies and dynamic imaging, are being developed to monitor these changes in real-time, providing a more comprehensive understanding of the disease.
