What Is Bone Cancer?
8. Diagnosis
Your doctor will need to ask you about your symptoms, and about your medical history. They may also wish to perform tests that will help them confirm the condition, and this will typically include imaging tests. Equipment like x-rays and MRIs will need to be used that will often give away the presence of cancerous tissues.
In some cases, a sample of the affected tissue will also need to be taken. This will sometimes mean surgery that will allow access to the affected area. In some cases it may be possible to use a needle to extract a sample without the need for surgery.
