What are the Challenges in Differential Diagnosis of Cancer?
Several challenges can complicate the differential diagnosis of cancer:
Overlapping Symptoms: Many cancers share symptoms with benign conditions, making initial diagnosis difficult. Non-Specific Imaging Findings: Some imaging results can be ambiguous and require further testing. Variability in Tumor Markers: Tumor markers are not always specific and can be elevated in non-cancerous conditions. Access to Advanced Diagnostics: In some regions, access to advanced diagnostic tools like genomic profiling may be limited.
