A small tip for a big difference: Accurate diagnosis is the first step on the road to recovery from cancer.
Before any treatment plan and before making any decisions, diagnosis is essential. Accurate diagnosis isn’t just the first step in the treatment journey; it’s the foundation of success. ✅ Why is diagnosis important?
Because each type of cancer behaves differently, and each patient’s case is unique. With a correct diagnosis, we can determine:
– The type of tumor
– Its grade and stage
– The extent of its spread and impact
– The most appropriate treatment options. Diagnosis usually includes:
– Laboratory tests and blood analyses
– Imaging, MRI, or CT scans
– A biopsy to analyze tumor tissue
– Genetic testing in some cases. A misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis can lead to inappropriate treatment or a delay in starting treatment, which affects the chances of recovery. That’s why the Egyptian Cancer Society emphasizes the importance of consulting reputable centers and specialized medical teams for tumor diagnosis.
Because every successful treatment plan begins with an accurate diagnosis.
