If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with cancer, understanding your testing options could be the most important step you take.

Most patients know about CT scans, MRIs, or PET scans — but those only show part of the picture. Today, advanced cancer testing technologies can reveal hidden details about your cancer, your treatment options, and your prognosis.

At Cancer Expert MD, we help patients worldwide access these breakthrough tests and explain what the results mean for you.

 Liquid Biopsy — The Blood Test That Sees What Scans Can’t

Liquid biopsy is a simple blood test that detects fragments of cancer DNA or live circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in your bloodstream.

• Non-invasive and easy to repeat.
• Detects mutations, resistance patterns, and hidden spread.
• Monitors your response to treatment and disease progression.

Liquid biopsies can sometimes pick up signs of cancer recurrence or metastasis before any scan would show it.

 Genomic Testing — Precision Oncology Starts Here

Genomic testing examines the DNA of your tumor to identify genetic mutations that could be driving its growth.

• Helps doctors choose targeted therapies based on your tumor’s unique profile.
• May reveal clinical trial options or off-label treatments.
• Recommended for advanced, recurrent, or treatment-resistant cancers.

This approach can unlock treatment choices you may never have known were available.

 Circulating Tumor Cell (CTC) Testing — Monitoring Cancer in Motion

Circulating tumor cell (CTC) testing measures the number of live cancer cells moving through your bloodstream.

• Predicts risk of spread or recurrence.
• Tracks effectiveness of your current treatment.
• Provides early warnings of disease progression.

Knowing your CTC count gives you and your doctor real-time feedback on your cancer status.

 Metabolic & Functional Testing — Unlocking the Cancer Metabolism Code

Metabolic and functional testing looks at how your body—and your cancer—processes nutrients, glucose, and toxins.

• Identifies metabolic weaknesses in the cancer.
• Supports personalized treatment approaches.
• Pairs well with integrative and metabolic therapies.

This kind of testing can reveal hidden vulnerabilities in your cancer’s biology.
