Screening tests can help detecting some cancers or malignant tumor like breast cancer mammogram test and prostate testes. If the therapist is unsure of the result he tends to take a biopsy from the tissue to be pathologically examined in the lab to find out the sure result of whether it is begnin or malignant.
After the diagnosis, the oncologist will determine the procedure of treatment whether it is radiotherapy, chemotherapy or surgical process. It is determined according to the size and the invasion of the malignant tumor. If the tumor was detected early enough, a small surgical excision and some radioactive therapy sessions could be enough to end the problem but if the tumor is invasive then it should be controlled first before any attempt to open a wound and remove it surgically.
There are several risk factors that may cause the cells to act abnormally and cause malignant neoplasms. Smoking and consuming different types of tobacco is one of the prominent causes while exposure to radiation and microwaves is considered one of the risk factors that are growing exponentially these days.
Treatment of cancer cells and their complications needs early detection so; apply screening tests to find out early about cancer.
