Question : Does cancer always present itself in blood test?

Answered by Dr. Rishi (27 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
Most cancers are not detected on blood tests.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Cancer can not always be detected in blood.
Almost every organ of the body can be taken over by cancer and a very few of them come in blood tests.
Blood cancer can be detected by blood tests but almost all other cancers cannot be detected in this fashion.
Do let me know if you have any more queries on this subject.
Take care,
