Despite advancements, tumor detection faces several challenges:
- False Positives and Negatives: Imaging and other diagnostic tools can sometimes produce incorrect results, leading to unnecessary treatments or missed diagnoses. - Accessibility: Advanced detection technologies may not be available in all regions, limiting early detection efforts. - Cost: Some detection methods, especially newer technologies, can be expensive and not covered by insurance. - Complexity of Cancer: Cancer is a diverse group of diseases with different behaviors and responses to treatment, making universal detection methods challenging.
