A member asked:

How do they test for stomach liver or bladder cancer's.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Differently: Stomach cancers are often found by endoscopy, liver cancers can be suspected by symptoms, seen on imaging studies and then biopsied. Bladder cancers can be detected in urine and proven by cystoscopy and biopsy.
