would a cbc test detect cancer?

Question:

Answers:
ACTUALLY , CBC TEST IS A (( ROUTINE INVESTIGATION )) NEITHER SPECIFIC, NOR SENSITIVE.

IN CASES OF ONCOLOGY DISEASES ( CANCERS), CBC MIGHT HELP AS WE CALLED IN MEDICINE (( INCREASE SUSPPECION)), AND MIGHT HELP TO FOLLOW UP THE DIAGNOSED CANCER,

SOME READING IN THE CBC MIGHT INCRAESE PROPABILITY TO HAVE CANCER (( IN ADDITION TO THE SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS)) LIKE:

WBC > 30,000 (( AS IN LEUKAEMIAS ))
PLATETETS < 60 ( AS IN MYELODYSPLASTIC CANCERS).
LOW HGB < 8gm% ( IN MOST CANCERS).

SO , TO SUMMARIZE.

C,B,C HELPS TO DIAGNOSE AND FOLLOW UP CANCERS , BUT.
C,B,C ((ALONE)) CAN NOT DIAGNOSE CANCERS..

Other Answers:
A CBC can tell if you white cell count is low or high but not if you have cancer per se. There are specific tests for cancer. Ask your doctor.

It could tell you if you have leukemia (cancer of the white blood cells), otherwise no it would not.
