Not a solution
Usually fortunately the cancer is benign, most people diagnosed will die of something else, so diagnosis can cause unnecessary worry and unnecessary interventions can have devastating side effects.
The need is for a test to identify whether the cancer is benign or malignant. Preferably without an autopsy which can cause damage.
Some tests are being developed. A small test reported last month where people who had been diagnosed with the cancer were injected with a sugary solution that contained a marker that can be detected by an MRI scan (cancer loves sugar). This was effective at distinguishing malignant cancers that need intervention and benign cancers that simply need monitoring.
