It is advised to go for regular medical check-ups rather than waiting for symptoms or pain to occur. Don’t assume that you are a cancer patient until the doctor diagnose or tell the patient whether it is cancer or any other condition. Apart from the physical examination, doctors may also ask for a series of tests and imaging procedures. If the initial tests do not disclose any mutations, the doctor will recommend a biopsy that removes a sample of tissue that is then diagnosed by a pathologist. The report will be the final result of the patient’s existing condition.
