What kind of cancer?: If you are worried about breast cancer, you need a mammogram. Colon cancer: colonoscopy lung cancer: chest ct skin cancer: exam by a dermatologist if any of those studies are concerning, they are followed by a biopsy, then by tests to see how far the cancer has spread, then by treatment.
