Assessing the extent of the cancer - introduction

        ASSESSING THE EXTENT OF THE CANCER - INTRODUCTION
Making the diagnosis of cancer is only the first step towards establishing the outlook and the best way of caring for a person with cancer. To do this, we usually need to know exactly which parts of the body are affected by cancer and how severely. Depending on what treatments are being considered, it may or may not be advisable to track down every last cancer deposit.
Basically, tests to determine the extent of a cancer should be done only if the results would influence your treatment and care. Keep this in mind when tests are being arranged. Ask your doctor to explain the reasons for the tests he or she recommends, especially if you can't see what difference their results would make. Some doctors keep arranging more and more tests rather than face up to telling a person that their cancer cannot be cured, or some other unpleasant news. They do this to protect themselves, and at your expense. Don't let them get away with it. Only agree to tests that are being done for a good reason that you understand.
