There are several types of supplemental tests used in cancer diagnosis and management. Some of the most common include:
MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging): Used to get detailed images of the body's soft tissues. PET scans (Positron Emission Tomography): Used to observe metabolic processes in the body. Genetic testing: Identifies specific genetic mutations associated with certain cancers. Blood tests: Measures markers that can indicate cancer presence and activity. Bone scans: Detects areas of increased or decreased bone activity. Ultrasound: Uses sound waves to produce images of structures inside the body.
