A member asked:
My np has suggested a mouth swab test for all kinds of cancer. i can't find any web info on it. is this legit?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No such test: Do you think the NP was referring to a genetic test to test for genes related to only certain cancers? In my opinion this is only useful for a few diseases.
