The effectiveness of cancer treatment is monitored through various methods:
Imaging Tests: X-rays, CT scans, MRI, and PET scans are used to visualize the tumor and assess response to treatment. Biopsies: Samples of tissue are examined under a microscope to check for cancer cells. Blood Tests: Used to measure certain markers that may indicate the presence of cancer. Physical Exams: Regular check-ups to monitor the patient’s overall health and detect any signs of recurrence.
