Patient discussion about Mediziner.

Q. Can I diagnose breast cancer without doctor?

Q. How do doctors find out if a tumor is malignant? What procedure is done to see if a tumor is malignant? Is a simple MRI enough to make that conclusion?

A. It depends on what type of tumor- what organ is involved and how big is it. Sometimes a simple blood test can show high levels of tumor markers and sometimes just the shape and size of it on CT or MRI can hint that it is a malignant tumor. However, the final answer can only be by biopsy or removal of the tumor and microscopic tests (that's the pathology work-up the doctors send).

Q. Doctor knows? what can happen to people suffering from severe cases of bipolar symptoms, if they have sensitivity to medicine and it has a reverse affect on them? The doctor does not know.
