For example, Tumor formations were preceded by loss of appetite in certain cases. With similar studies, several people were reportedly declared to be prone to Cancer due to bad lifestyle habits. Hence most of medical technologies used today for diagnosis are also striving to take a deeper look and see the root cause of the disease. For example, you might have a Tumor formation. Do you know how that Tumor formed and do you know how it will tend to grow further? All these can be identified during the diagnostic procedure and diseases that are building up slowly can be treated in the beginning itself.
