Occupational cancer diagnosis can be challenging due to the latency period between exposure and cancer development, which can be years or even decades. Diagnosis typically involves:
Medical History: Detailed work history to identify potential exposure to carcinogens. Screening Tests: Regular screenings for high-risk individuals. Biopsy: Tissue sample analysis to confirm the presence of cancer. Imaging Tests: X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs to detect tumors.
