Diagnosis A definitive cancer diagnosis usually requires the opinion of a pathologist, a doctor who specializes in the diagnosis of cancer and other diseases. Your diagnosis will usually include an examination of a tissue sample. Most cancers can be treated – and many cured – depending on the specific type, location and stage of progression. Treatment Once diagnosed, your cancer care team may treat your cancer with a combination of surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Many people continue to work full-time while undergoing treatment. We recommend that you continue any daily activities that you feel able to do, depending on your symptoms and whether you are taking certain pain medications.
