would a cbc test detect cancer?

Answer 1

ACTUALLY , CBC TEST IS A (( ROUTINE INVESTIGATION )) NEITHER SPECIFIC, NOR SENSITIVE.

IN CASES OF ONCOLOGY DISEASES ( CANCERS), CBC MIGHT HELP AS WE CALLED IN MEDICINE (( INCREASE SUSPPECION)), AND MIGHT HELP TO FOLLOW UP THE DIAGNOSED CANCER,

SOME READING IN THE CBC MIGHT INCRAESE PROPABILITY TO HAVE CANCER (( IN ADDITION TO THE SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS)) LIKE:

WBC > 30,000 (( AS IN LEUKAEMIAS ))
PLATETETS < 60 ( AS IN MYELODYSPLASTIC CANCERS).
LOW HGB < 8gm% ( IN MOST CANCERS).

SO , TO SUMMARIZE.....

C,B,C HELPS TO DIAGNOSE AND FOLLOW UP CANCERS , BUT.
C,B,C ((ALONE)) CAN NOT DIAGNOSE CANCERS..

Answer 2

A CBC can tell if you white cell count is low or high but not if you have cancer per se. There are specific tests for cancer. Ask your doctor.

Answer 3

will not detect cancer - but could "suggest" mort test to check for cancer.

almost everyone that has a blood test gets a "cbc" panel.

Answer 4

He would be able to rulesome types of cancer out from a CBC, it could require additional trying out for a precise melanoma diagnosis. The exact checks would rely upon the style of cancer suspected.

Answer 5

To clarify the first response. You can't go to your doctor and say "do that one lab test that checks me for cancer". There is not a single specific test. There are signs and symptoms, which may require a battery of different tests to come up with a diagnosis.

This process can frustrate the doctors, but they are nowhere near as frustrated as the patients.

Answer 6

It could tell you if you have leukemia (cancer of the white blood cells), otherwise no it would not.
