Medical history: Assessing risk factors, such as family history, smoking, and previous cancer diagnoses. 2. Physical examination: Performing a thorough physical examination to identify any abnormalities. 3. Symptom assessment: Evaluating symptoms, such as pain, bleeding, or changes in bowel or bladder habits. Imaging Tests: 1. X-rays: Used to evaluate bone and lung abnormalities. 2. Computed Tomography (CT) scans: Used to evaluate internal organs, such as the lungs, liver, and pancreas. 3. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans: Used to evaluate internal organs, such as the brain, breast, and prostate. 4. Ultrasound: Used to evaluate organs, such as the thyroid, liver, and pancreas. Laboratory Tests: 1. Biopsy: A sample of tissue is removed and examined for abnormal cell growth. 2. Cytology: A sample of cells is examined for abnormal cell growth. 3. Blood tests: Used to evaluate biomarkers, such as tumor markers, and to assess liver and kidney function. 4. Genetic testing: Used to evaluate genetic mutations that may increase the risk of cancer. Screening Tests: 1. Pap test: Used to screen for cervical cancer. 2. Mammography: Used to screen for breast cancer. 3. Colonoscopy: Used to screen for colorectal cancer. 4. Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) test: Used to screen for prostate cancer. Pre-Cancerous Conditions: 1. Cervical dysplasia: Abnormal cell growth in the cervix. 2.
