Technological advancements have significantly improved cancer diagnosis. Mammography and Pap smears are early inventions that have become routine screening tools, drastically reducing mortality rates from breast and cervical cancers, respectively. The invention of MRI and CT scans has provided detailed imaging that helps in accurately diagnosing and staging various cancers.
Additionally, the advent of liquid biopsy—a less invasive method that detects cancer-related genetic material in blood samples—has been a game-changer. This innovation allows for early detection and monitoring of the disease's progression without the need for invasive surgical procedures.
