CBC AND CANCER

2019-01-30 13:48:35
I am quite curious about one thing. I had my cbc test. My haemoglobin is 15 Is that rules out any kind of bowel and colorectal cancer? Because any kind of tumor will leak blood and i will have anaemia. Please someone please explain this

This is very hypothetical situation ur talking about .. not every tumour or cancer bleeds neither it may cause always anaemia .. CBC alone can never rule out any bowel or colon cancer .. I belive u understand now

Why are you worried that you would have bowel or colorectal cancer? A disease may manifest because of multiple causes or a single factor can cause various different diseases. Medicine usually follows the principle of  non-linearity and hence, foregone conclusions are rarely right. You would need an expert opinion to help you out of this stickiness
