A member asked:
Do i need to ask my pediatrician to test my daughter's blood for cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: Do you have a specific reason for concern? Is your child ill? If she is not having any problems, and is growing and developing normally, there isn't any routine blood work for types of cancer.
