Do blood test detect oral cancer?


Do blood test detect oral cancer?

There are no reliable blood tests for oral cancer, either to diagnose it or to identify a relapse. Diagnosis is best made by a surgeon taking a biopsy of a suspicious lesion.

Blood tests for patients diagnosed with oral cancer are important for determining how well the body's organ systems are functioning, as this will influence the treatment recommendations.

May or may not but if an ulcer is seen, a sample of the tissue can be taken and a cytological examination for malignancy can be done.
