The Importance of Proper Diagnosis

A proper cancer diagnosis begins with a biopsy, which allows for the collection of tissue that is then analyzed to confirm cancer's presence. Biopsies are essential for specifying the cancer type, including potential subtypes and mutations that could impact treatment decisions. For example, in breast cancer, identifying hormone receptor status and HER2 mutations is crucial for tailoring therapy. Once diagnosed, additional tissue testing can further guide treatment, emphasizing the pivotal role of accurate diagnosis in determining the best therapeutic approach.
