Comment on Toshiba device tests cancer types from a drop of bloodparent

At early stages you can simply blast it with chemo/radiation before it manifests into something intreatable though.

If you are certain that it is malignant cancer and not one of the other billion tumor forms that may not even spread.

Otherwise, you are exposing people to side effects of radiation and chemotherapy without them needing it.

This is called overtreatment and sought to be avoided for a reason.
