Yes. Cancer can be diagnosed without a biopsy, but a biopsy is the most accurate way to diagnose cancer.
There are a few different ways to diagnose cancer without a biopsy. One way is to use an ultrasound or MRI to look for tumors. Another way is to do a blood test to look for certain biomarkers that are associated with cancer. However, the best way to diagnose cancer is through a biopsy because it allows doctors to look at the tumor under a microscope and determine its exact type and grade.
