Cancer is not just one disease but many diseases. There are more than 100 different types of cancer. Most cancers are named for the organ or type of cell in which they start - for example, cancer that begins in the colon is called colon cancer; cancer that begins in basal cells of the skin is called basal cell carcinoma. OncQuest Diagnostics is a global leader in functional laboratory testing, pioneering innovative new approaches in Cancer care and Cancer Treatments. Oncquest Laboratory focusing on wellness and prevention and taking an active role in managing health prefer diagnostic tests designed to help identify problems before chronic conditions and diseases develop. Our testing and information services help physicians diagnose, to focus on the development of diagnostic tests for the identification of life-threatening disease through better utilization of health care resources. OncQuest laboratory also has the capability of long term specimen archival with complete identity protection and audit trail at each and every step. Laboratory tests are needed to determine whether a person has cancer, or if another condition (such as an infection) is mimicking the symptoms of cancer. Some types of cancer can be found before they cause symptoms. Checking for cancer (or for conditions that may lead to cancer) in people who have no symptoms is called screening. Screening can help doctors find and treat some types of cancer early. Generally, cancer treatment is more effective when the disease is found early. However, not all types of cancer have screening tests and some tests are only for people with specific genetic risks. Laboratory tests that use a sample of blood, urine, or other substance from the body can be used to identify possible changes in a person's health before symptoms appear. Regular testing and diagnosis is the best way to avoid Cancer, and ensure a healthy life. If a person waits too long before getting tested, he/she risks a much more prolonged disease with, very often, a poor prognosis and quality of life.
