How is cancer diagnosed?

Cancer is diagnosed through a combination of medical history, physical exams, imaging tests (like CT scans or MRIs), and biopsy results.

Blood tests and tumor markers can provide additional diagnostic information.

A definitive diagnosis often requires examination of tissue samples under a microscope.

Genetic testing may be used to identify specific mutations or hereditary cancer risks.

Diagnosis typically involves collaboration among oncologists, pathologists, and radiologists.
