Hi all,
I’m new to the forum and scheduled with an ENT oncologist surgeon for a physical biopsy of a suspicious area in the throat next week.

Has anyone used saliva/biomarker tests to diagnose cancer prior to a physical biopsy? What do you wish you knew prior to the diagnostic biopsy?
Many thanks!! smile

Appears that those are the latest tech which no doctor is allowing or using due to it being so novel and without saying significant evidence of it working. It will definitely change the field if it proves to be effected ve over time, shake they are not giving it more of a shot, the biomarkers have been profoundly effective in the studies/trials.
