A member asked:
I had blood tests one month ago that were perfect can any type of cancer occur in just one month?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is possible: It is possible that a leukemia would be undetectable by blood test, and then be demonstrable by the same blood test one month later. The rate of cancer growth can be quite variable between different individuals. Also keep in mind that there are many different types of cancer that cannot be detected by blood tests (one would need imaging, for example).
