One of the key roles of oncologists is the early detection and diagnosis of cancer. Through screenings, diagnostic tests, and imaging studies, oncologists strive to identify cancer at its earliest stages when treatment options are most effective. Oncologists utilize advanced technologies and techniques, such as biopsies, genetic testing, and molecular profiling, to accurately diagnose cancer and determine its specific characteristics, allowing for tailored treatment strategies.
