A member asked:

I am curious if cancer of throat or of the stomach, what will be the common or advanced blood test result?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No blood tests help: Cancers of the organs do not show up in blood tests. They typically require a biopsy for microscopic examination. That is how a diagnosis of cance ris commonly made excpet in blood cancers, where a blood test may be able to help in arriving at a diagnosis.
