A member asked:
How is lymphoma diagnosed? would it show on an mri scan or blood test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lymphoma: Lymphoma is not usually definitively diagnosed by blood tests, but rather by biopsy of a mass. Ct scans and MRI's can be diagnostic. Symptoms may be suggestive but not fully diagnostic either. A tissue diagnosis is definitive.
