Radiological staging

Radiological staging is a process where medical imaging techniques, such as CT scans, MRIs, or X-rays, are used to determine the extent and spread of a cancer within the body. It helps doctors understand if the cancer is confined to its original site or has spread to nearby tissues or distant organs. This information is crucial for planning the most effective treatment and predicting outcomes. Essentially, radiological staging provides a detailed map of the disease, guiding personalized treatment decisions and helping assess prognosis.
