Tests for cancer and tumors

Considering that you have a family history of cancer, it is necessary to do a physical examination for your parents at present, and the following items can be selected for routine physical examination: blood routine, urine routine, liver and kidney function, abdominal ultrasound, chest x-ray, blood lipids, electrocardiogram, fasting blood glucose, tumor indicators (CEA AFP CA199 CA125), on this basis, your mother can add a Pap smear, and your father can consider adding a prostate B ultrasound. The above examinations can be used to basically screen for general malignant tumors and related cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

The cost is about 400 yuan per person. The above examinations can be routinely checked once a year, and if there are some abnormalities, they need to be reviewed regularly.

First of all, your mother has a tumor, and your uncle and your grandmother are on your side, and there is no relationship between the two Secondly, if B ultrasound can determine that the tumor is very serious, just do an MRI MRI, which is basically the same, and then it is surgery, and then it will be said when it is confirmed, ask for points

Regular physical examination every year is fine, if there is any discomfort in time**, don't delay, don't have too much psychological burden.

Tumors are benign and malignant, and malignant ones are called cancers.

Tumors can be benign and malignant, and cancer refers to malignant tumors.

There is no point in checking, x-rays are not so fun.

Dr. Chang's team has developed a method to detect tumor markers using photonic crystal microsphere technology, which makes the detection faster, more accurate, and uses less blood, which is the team's strength, but this does not mean that cancer can be screened better and more accurately.

The tumor markers used by this team are still the same as the old ones, and they are no different from the tumor markers that we usually use in physical examinations for blood testing. In fact, the authoritative medical guideline Sun Kuan does not use tumor markers to screen for cancer, but uses other examination methods.

The reason for this is that there is a high probability of false positives or false negatives in tumor marker tests. In other words, people with abnormal tumor markers often do not have cancer, and people with normal tumor markers are also likely to develop cancer. Brother Lunkai, who uses tumor markers to detect cancer, is very cost-effective, and the results are not accurate.

Although you have used very high-end technology to make the detection of tumor markers faster and more accurate, there is still a gap between it and achieving more effective cancer screening.
