What are the common challenges in interpreting cancer diagnosis?
Interpreting a cancer diagnosis can be fraught with challenges due to the complexity and variability of the disease. One major issue is the heterogeneity of cancer cells. Even within a single tumor, there can be significant genetic and phenotypic differences among cells, making it difficult to determine the most effective treatment. Additionally, diagnostic tools and techniques, such as biopsies and imaging scans, may not always provide a complete picture, leading to potential misinterpretations.
