A member asked:
Which test does one have to take to know if a person is on remission or cancer free?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
DEPENDS: Certainly, there are variable ways to check for recurrence, depending on the type of cancer for which you were treated. Your doctor and/or oncologist should be able to help with your question. Give them a call. Good luck.
