If a doctor notices your routine blood
tests are not normal they can test your
blood further, there are specific blood
tests that are done to detect certain
cancers, they look for "markers" in the
blood. It all depends on what type of
cancer the doctor is looking for such as
leukemia, as for cancer of organs usually
scans will show cancer and the blood work
will be out of whack.
They then put these together and come up
with an answer to why the blood work is
not normal and what came up on the scan.
I am trying to get answers myself and have
been doing a little research. Sorry if
this doesn't answer your question fully as
I am learning about this myself.
