Early detection of the disease can be dramatically increases the chances of successful treatment and survive, doctors based on information taken from the symptoms and other measures for diagnosis, imaging techniques pictures ultrasound and X-ray computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance and positron emission tomography using usually to detect the position of the tumor and other organs that may be affected by it.
The doctors have endoscopic (procedure done through the introduction of slim tube with a camera and a small bulb to see abnormalities within the body).
Extract cancer cells and examined under a microscope are critical method in the diagnosis of cancer, and this procedure is called (a biopsy). Added to the types of molecular diagnostics also frequently used ..
Where the doctors analyzed the body content of sugar and lipids, proteins and DNA at the molecular level, for example: prostate cells carcinogens secrete a higher level of a substance called (PSA PSA) in the blood stream, which can be detected blood test, and here we should say that all previous technologies used together to detect cancer.
After the diagnosis, doctors begin research on the prevalence of cancer and determine the status, which identifies opportunities for treatment and Almtahd mechanism called the TNM classification of tumors, and the results are divided into four stages (1-4), where the higher the number indicates that the cancer has spread decreased to a lesser extent, most of the tumors In the first stage incurable tumors while in the fourth phase are not so.
