A member asked:
Expert opinion - should leukemia or any other cancer have shown up in my blood test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and no: Certainly, if you have active leukemia, a basic CBC will show changes indicative of that disease. It's not likely there's any cancers that would present on basic blood tests. Good luck.
