Despite advances in medical technology, several challenges remain in cancer diagnosis:
- Early Detection: Some cancers do not show symptoms until they are in advanced stages, making early detection difficult. - False Positives/Negatives: Tests can sometimes give false results, leading to unnecessary anxiety or missed diagnoses. - Complexity of Cancer: Cancer is not a single disease but a collection of diseases with varied characteristics, making diagnosis and treatment complex. - Access to Care: Socioeconomic factors can limit access to advanced diagnostic tools and skilled healthcare professionals.
