A member asked:
I'm wondering how much time it will take for cancer check up?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends : A thorough cancer check up takes a good amount of time. If there is a particular organ system that is suspect because of patient complaints (ie. Excessive cough) or findings (ie. Skin moles), the check up is more directed. If there is suspicion for a cancer in the chest or abdomen, a ct scan of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis is done. This actual test takes about 10-30 minutes to run.
