Can cancer be detected without a biopsy?

Sources:

Yes, cancer can indeed be detected without a biopsy using advanced imaging technologies and liquid biopsy tests. As discussed by and in the , early detection of cancer has greatly improved due to advancements in various technologies. For instance, multiparametric MRI imaging is incredibly effective for identifying prostate cancers, allowing detection of small lesions within the prostate that can lead to early treatment with high cure rates. Additionally, liquid biopsy tests such as the one mentioned, previously known as OncBlot and now similar to the Grail's Galeri test, can detect multiple types of cancers from a single blood sample. These tests increase the chances of treating the cancer effectively at an early stage, sometimes even before traditional biopsy methods are employed 1.
