Is there a test that can diagnose cancer in any part of your body?
the only test that can confirm diagnose of cancer/tumor is biopsy of the tumor cell/cancer cells. ___________ Prior to invasive surgery such as biopsy, a responsible doctor will prescribe blood tests which isolate tumour indicators; Ca125 is one of these markers, but there are others which should be carried out before any surgery is performed. Your GP can arrange this. These tests will generally indicate the presence of cancer in any part of your body and your GP's recommendation will alert a specialist to areas where a biopsy might be appropriate. ___________
