Cancer and Oncology Research

Cancer diagnosis and staging involve a systematic process to identify the presence of cancer and determine its extent in the body. Diagnosis typically includes imaging tests, biopsies, and blood tests to confirm cancer and assess its type. Staging, often classified using the TNM system (Tumor, Node, Metastasis), evaluates the size of the tumor, lymph node involvement, and spread to other organs. Accurate diagnosis and staging are crucial for developing an effective treatment plan and predicting patient outcomes.
