How Cancer is Diagnosed
Malin Dollinger, MD, and Ernest H. Rosenbaum, MD
Adaptedfor the Canadian edition by Richard Hasselback, MD
Cancer can be treated. But if it is going to be treated
with any degree of success, it has to be detected
in its early stages and a diagnosis quickly
made. This isn't always easy because
of the silent period of tumor
growth—the months or years
when the malignant cells are
quietly doubling again and
again. There may be absolutely
no indication that this process
is going on.
