Various methods are employed to monitor cancer patients, including:
Imaging tests such as CT scans, MRIs, and PET scans to visualize tumors and assess their size and spread. Blood tests to detect tumor markers or other anomalies that could indicate cancer presence or progression. Biopsies to examine tissue samples for cancer cells. Physical examinations to check for lumps, changes in skin color, or other physical signs of cancer. Patient-reported outcomes to monitor symptoms and quality of life.
