What is the best test to identify cancer in any part of your entire body? ct scan ir mri or can tou do blood tests. on top of this question is sleeping a lot a sign of brain cancer
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No such thing: Yet. Not imaging, nor blood test. Best use of any of the above is based on clinical lead by history and direct exam. Yes hypersomnia or sleeping a lot is seen in advanced cancers and/or neurodegenerative diseases.
