How are cancers diagnosed?

When a doctor suspects that a patient may have cancer, they will order initial tests, depending on exactly what is suspected, in order to further investigate their concern. They will then refer their patient to the relevant specialty doctor. If a suspicious lesion is seen on a scan or other investigation, a tissue sample, also known as a biopsy, needs to be taken in order to see under the microscope whether the tissue is indeed cancerous.

A team of clinicians involved in the care will meet and discuss the case - this is known as a multi-disciplinary meeting or MDT. MDTs often contain physicians, histopathologists (who look at biopsy samples to give a tissue diagnosis), radiologists (who look at scans to stage cancers), surgeons, oncologists and specialist nurses.

I’m going through this stage of tests for a brain tumour. This is informative for patients as well as medical students. Thanks

Benign Neoplasms are composed of well-differentiated cells that
closely resemble their normal counterparts both morphologically
and functionally So How we can differentiate under the microscope or in histopatho lab between it and normal Hyperplasia Especially if there was no clear physiological stimulus

I had a biopsy but I'm awaiting results. I called hospital and they said to wait a few more days. They can't share results with me today because they have to do an MDM meeting. I then asked if my results are normal? She said she can't answer that until meetings taken place
:(
I'm so worried
