Can Fibroids Be Cancerous

Is there a way to check for any cancer in the body using a blood test?

My friend’s gyn doctor told her she has uterine polyps, maybe fibroids, based on ultrasound and suggested D&C & hysteroscopy to find out. Is there a way she can check if these polyps really need to be removed (i.e. cancerous) or not, without having to undergo D&C to find out?

Well you can’t really be completely sure without it. Types of cancer can have effects on certain cell counts, but so can a magnitude of other things. The primary function of that test is to be 100% sure one way or the other, and when it comes to dealing with these things, you don’t want to be less sure at all.

So there’s no 100% sure way that I’m aware of to find out one way or the other, save for exactly what you’ve mentioned.
