How is Cancer Diagnosed in Patients Presenting with Coughing or Hoarseness?
To diagnose cancer in patients with persistent coughing or hoarseness, a healthcare provider will typically begin with a detailed medical history and physical examination. Diagnostic tests may include imaging studies such as X-rays, CT scans, or MRIs, and endoscopic procedures like bronchoscopy or laryngoscopy. Biopsies may also be performed to obtain tissue samples for histopathological examination.
