How Effective are Non-Invasive Methods Compared to Invasive Ones?
While non-invasive methods are generally safer and more comfortable, their effectiveness can vary:
Accuracy: Non-invasive methods may not always be as accurate as invasive ones. For example, a biopsy is often more definitive than imaging alone. Early Detection: Some non-invasive methods, like certain blood tests, can detect cancer at earlier stages. Monitoring: Non-invasive methods are excellent for ongoing monitoring of cancer progression and treatment response.
