Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment

#Cancers are recognized due to the #signs or #symptoms that occur after a particular #stage or through #screening. Neither of these leads to exact #diagnosis of the #disease and its type, it mainly requires examination of a #tissue sample obtained generally by #biopsy, by a #pathologist. #Cancer can be treated by many methods such as #surgery, #chemotherapy, #hormonal_therapy, #radiation_therapy, #targeted_therapy and #synthetic lethality. People suffering from #Cancer can be investigated through #medical_tests which includes #blood_tests, #X-rays, #CT_scans and #endoscopy. The #tissue #diagnosis from the #biopsy indicates the type of #cell that proliferates through its #histological grade, #genetic_abnormalities and other features.  All together it gives useful information about the #molecular changes such as #mutations, #fusion #genes and numerical #chromosome to estimate  the #prognosis inorder to choose the best #treatment. #Cytogenetics and #immunohistochemistry are the other common #tissue #tests. The removal of #cancer without damaging the other parts of the #body (by achieving cure with near-zero adverse effects) is the main goal of the #treatment. The type of #treatment depends on the type of #cancer the #patient is suffering from and its #stage. Most of the people with #Cancer have a combination of #treatments such as #surgery with #chemotherapy or #radiation_therapy, #Immunotherapy, #targeted_therapy or #hormone_therapy.
