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


Suspicious looking potentially cancerous area found in throat 8/2021. Physical biopsy scheduled for 9/3/21. Breast cancer diagnosed 2019.

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.

Please look at year dates on the things you are posting to. This individual came to the boards over a year ago. There were unfortunately no replies to this post for whatever reason, and they have not been back posting, so your reply and comment will go unseen and not read. It’s good to try and help, but this board has archived messages that go back many years. Look at dates before posting so we are helping people currently asking for inputs. Thanks.
