A member asked:

Which body/blood test is the best test for cancer in the body?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

None of them: None of the routine labs are a general cancer screen. There are some "alternative and holistic" practitioners that offer supposed blood tests for general cancer, but these don't meet scientific standards and haven't stood up to horst testing.
