Read the following statements regarding the various techniques used in cancer detection:
(i) Cancer detection is based on biopsy and histopathological studies of the tissues and the blood and bone marrow tests for increased cell counts in case of leukemia.
(ii) In biopsy, a piece of the suspected tissue cut into thin sections is stained and examined under microscope by the pathologist.
(iii) Techniques like radiography (use of X-rays), CT (computed tomography) and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) are very useful to detect cancers of the internal organs.
(iv) Computed tomography uses strong magnetic fields and non-ionising radiations to detect physiological changes in living tissues.
(v) Early detection of cancer is essential as it allow the disease to be treated successfully.
