Malignancy assessment

Malignancy assessment involves evaluating whether a growth or abnormality, such as a tumor, is cancerous. This process includes analyzing medical images, performing biopsies to examine tissue samples under a microscope, and considering patient history and risk factors. The goal is to determine if the growth is malignant (cancerous), benign (non-cancerous), or uncertain. Accurate assessment helps guide appropriate treatment decisions and improves patient outcomes. The process combines clinical findings and laboratory results to provide a comprehensive understanding of the abnormality’s nature.
