There is no single test which can detect all type of cancers. Most of the solid cancers are diagnosed by FNAC or BIOPSY. X-rays, Ultrasounds, CT scans, MRI, PET scan, Tumor markers are helpful in diagnosing and staging cancers.
In developing countries like India, only 10- 20 % of patients reach the cancer specialist in stage I and II. Sadly 70-80% of cancer patients present to the cancer specialist in Stage III and IV when not only the treatment is costlier but also less effective.
Cancer can be treated by surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy or by the combination of these three modalities. 80-90 % of cancers are solid tumors and hence surgery is the main stay of treatment in these cancers.
Partial success has been obtained in this direction. Recently vaccination against cervical cancers caused by the herpes virus has shown promising results.
