Cancer Diagnosis
Cancer diagnosis refers to the process of identifying and confirming the presence of cancerous cells or tumors in the body. It typically involves various medical tests, including imaging techniques like X-rays, CT scans, MRI scans, and biopsies, which involve the removal and examination of tissue samples. These diagnostic methods help healthcare professionals determine the type, location, stage, and extent of cancer, enabling them to develop appropriate treatment plans tailored to each patient. Early diagnosis plays a crucial role in improving outcomes, as it allows for timely intervention and increases the chances of successful treatment and recovery.
