A member asked:
Does a cbc blood test detect cancer? specifically lymphoma?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
CBC & Lymphoma: There are a few lymphomas which can be detected on a CBC but most will not show up that way. In other words, if your CBC is normal doesn't mean you don't have lymphoma. A biopsy of any enlarged lymph node is suggested.
