Cancer diagnostic evaluation

Evaluations of patients who come to us are carried out to the extent that is required for each individual case. If there are "fresh" results indisputable to our specialists, the patient will undergo a minimum amount of diagnostic procedures, including:

• complete blood count and biochemical blood test with evaluation of informative tumour markers, urinalysis;
• CT or PET/CT for the detection of possible metastases.

Additional examinations should be performed in the case of possibly unreliable results or if the patient provides "obsolete" results. All diagnostic evaluation is performed using modern equipment and takes the minimum amount of time.
