A member asked:
What tests would show you have cancer does it show up in bloodtests etc?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
First things first: A thorough history and physical by a physician may focus the evaluations on specific areas of the body. Blood tests are not specific enough to screen for most types of cancer. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
