How does cancer go undetected by a doctor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lesion asymptomatic: Many lesions are asymptomatic until they produce effects that can be recognized and that is frequently late in the clinical course of disease. Ca of head of pancreas is a intraductal lesion that is not apparent for about 15 years until it invade parenchyma and common duct to produce painless jaundice. Many breast cancers remain small and non palpable until metastasis evident.
