There are several methods used for tumor detection, including:
Imaging Techniques: Methods such as X-rays, CT scans, MRI, and PET scans provide detailed images of the inside of the body, helping to identify abnormal growths. Biopsy: A biopsy involves taking a small sample of tissue from the suspected tumor for microscopic examination to determine if it is cancerous. Blood Tests: Certain cancers release substances called tumor markers into the blood. Blood tests can detect these markers and help in diagnosing cancer. Physical Examinations: Regular check-ups and screenings can help detect lumps or abnormalities that might indicate the presence of a tumor. Endoscopic Procedures: Techniques like colonoscopy and cystoscopy allow doctors to view the inside of organs and tissues to detect abnormal growths.
