Detailed Answer:
Welcome and thank you for asking! As there are many types of cancer the diagnostic tools very a lot. If you have risk factors , genetic predisposition for a certain type of cancer, you should start screening for that type . If you have any symptom and want to exclude cancer, please specify them and I can guide you further. Your age and sex is also important . Please give some more information and it will be a pleasure to help you. Regards, Dr.Esmeralda

I've been in and out of the hospital for over two years now. In Dec of 2013 I had a 4 way bypass and a new Aorta valve installed. Then in July of 2015 my colon exploded in Arizona. They installed a colostomy bag. I was in and out of rehab and hospitals until Aug 2016 when they removed the bag and I just last week had a cardiac ablation. I think I might have been a little premature in asking the question I did. The insertion point for the ablation catheter is right where I pointed out and it hurts real bad. With all the hosp visits lately you.d think they would've found any cancer I suspected. Thank you.
