Can cbc show signs of cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Defining all the components of the blood system circulating in the host is incapable of defining malignant disease other than for the tumors of the WBC system. The solid tumor malignancies do shed markers into the serum but are not part of the CBC and at present are inaccurate.
