Answers:
No, tumors are not seen in all cancers. For instance, in Leukemia, cancer of the bone marrow and blood, when they check your blood your white blood cells will be highly elevated and they look for a Philadelphia chromosome which is present in CML. That is what my son was diagnosed with. There is no tumor present in that type of cancer. Tumors may be malignant (cancerous) or benign (non cancerous) like a lipoma, so a tumor does not necessarily mean cancer either.
