A member asked:
I'm just wondering, if you get a standard blood test and urine sample can it detect cancer ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: You'll need a good history and physical. Some lab abnormalities may tip the physician off to cancer. There are some screens -- colonoscopy, mammography, Pap smears, some others -- that can seek cancer while it's curable.
