No it does not. There are times a blood work may appear normal but the person may already be in the early or late stages of cancer.
Explanation:
Cancers like breast, colorectal and prostate cancer needs regular screening to detect mutated cells after which if a suspicious tumor is found, it will be subjected to a biopsy which will diagnose if it is benign or malignant. If it is found to be malignant, it will be classified into 4 stages of severity which will determine treatment and prognosis for the patient.
