A member asked:
Does a blood test show if all cancer from a malignant tumor has been removed or is it usually done by mri/ct?

No it does not: You need to see your oncologist and he needs to decide what test to do. There is no security in this life, only good opportunity to do the right thing. Good luck.

No: Not by blood test. Would be radiological with CT, PET scan or other radiological methods in conjunction with labs.
