癌症是由开始过度生长的细胞的起源部位来定义的. 这可能发生在身体的任何器官，包括血液和淋巴系统. 癌症类型是用来定义疾病的许多类别中的第一个, 因此，仅仅知道癌症类型并不能提供额外的信息. 癌症 type does not change as the regions of the body involved change, 因此，已经扩散到骨骼的肺癌被称为“骨转移肺癌”,而不是骨癌.

癌症 may be detected when symptoms or abnormalities, 如肿块或生长物, are recognized by a patient or provider. Diagnostic imaging is often then used for visualization of abnormal masses using high-tech machines that create images, 比如x射线, 计算机断层扫描, 正电子发射测试(PET), 核磁共振成像, PET/CT联合.

Detection or assumption of cancer is not the same as diagnosis. A cancer diagnosis begins with the confirmation of abnormal cell growth and typically requires analysis of cells under a microscope or other instrument which analyzes cells. 选择用于癌症诊断的组织来源将取决于所怀疑的癌症类型, as well as the site of the body suspected of harboring cancer.

一种被设计用来确认疑似癌症的程序被称为活组织检查. Many biopsies are performed by surgeons, 而其他的则由经过专门训练的放射科医生进行医学成像, 比如CT扫描或核磁共振成像, 指导活检. The material obtained from a biopsy is sent to a physician specially trained to identify diseases in the laboratory, 被称为病理学家. A pathologist uses their knowledge of the normal appearance of cells to determine the site of origin of a cancer as well as additional information which may be obtained.

Once a pathologist confirms the cancer type, the next step is generally to determine the extent of cancer in the body, an important process referred to as cancer “staging.“在癌症分期期间，会收集额外的信息，如医学成像和进一步的检测, which may entail additional biopsies and procedures. 一些患者发现癌症分期的过程比他们预期的要慢, especially in light of the anxiety surrounding a new cancer diagnosis. 癌症 staging must be performed meticulously, 然而, 因为它是整个治疗计划中最重要的决定因素之一.

Staging is performed in a number of different ways, 针对特定病人的治疗方法不仅取决于癌症的类型, but also the level of suspicion of additional body sites of involvement. 分期方法可以从简单的身体检查到专门的程序, some of which require medical imaging. 有既定的国家指南来确保癌症分期的一致性和准确性, so that each cancer type has its own “rules” to guide staging. 这些指导方针是由领先的癌症组织制定的，比如 American Joint Commission on 癌症 (AJCC) 和 National Comprehensive 癌症 Network (NCCN). The 供应商 on your cancer team at 纽约医院 will work together to ensure that your cancer is properly staged, in order to determine the most appropriate 治疗 plan.
