Diagnostic tests are essential for confirming the presence of cancer and include various methods such as:
Imaging Tests: Techniques like X-rays, CT scans, MRI, and PET scans help visualize internal organs and identify tumors. Biopsies: Involves extracting a small tissue sample from a suspicious area to examine it microscopically. Blood Tests: Can reveal markers that indicate cancer, such as elevated levels of certain proteins or abnormal blood cell counts. Endoscopy: Inserting a flexible tube with a camera to inspect internal organs like the gastrointestinal tract.
