Is there a blood test for cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not quite: Cancer is not one disease but a conglomeration of multiple disease. Some cancers, e.g., leukemias, multiple myeloma, and some advanced cancers can be detected by blood tests. However there are different tests for even these categories of cancers.
