1. Which cancers does this screening package mainly cover?
This package is designed around cancer types that are commonly relevant to men’s health. It includes screening markers related to prostate cancer, colorectal cancer, liver cancer, stomach cancer, nasopharyngeal cancer, pancreatic cancer, lung cancer and squamous cell-related cancers, such as certain oesophageal or head and neck cancers.
It provides a broad early risk assessment, but it is not a diagnostic test.
2. What is the examination process like? Is it complicated?
The process is simple. Most tumour marker tests can be completed through a blood test, together with a basic physical assessment.
The process is non-invasive and usually takes around 30 minutes.
3. How often should I have this screening?
Annual routine screening may be considered.
If you have a relevant family history, personal medical history or higher risk factors, such as long-term smoking, alcohol use, or hepatitis B or C carrier status, your doctor may recommend a shorter screening interval.
4. Does an abnormal tumour marker result mean I have cancer?
Not necessarily.
Tumour marker levels may be mildly elevated due to inflammation, infection, benign tumours or other physiological conditions.
An abnormal result usually means that further assessment may be needed, such as imaging, endoscopy or specialist review. Please consult a specialist doctor for professional interpretation.
5. Can this test completely rule out all cancers?
No. No single test can completely rule out all cancers.
This screening is an early risk assessment tool. It may help identify potential risk signals for certain common cancers, but a complete health assessment should also take into account lifestyle factors, family history, symptoms and other investigations.
6. When will the report be available?
Reports are usually available within approximately 1–3 working days after all test items have been completed.
7. Which age group is this screening suitable for?
Men aged 30 or above may consider including this screening as part of their annual health check.
For men aged 40 or above, cancer risk generally increases with age, so regular health screening may be particularly important.
8. Is this package sufficient if I have a family history of cancer?
This package provides basic cancer-related screening markers.
If you have a clear family history of cancer, especially if multiple relatives have had a specific type of cancer, you are advised to share the report with your doctor. Your doctor can assess whether more targeted investigations are needed, such as gastrointestinal endoscopy or low-dose CT — LDCT.
9. What should I do if an abnormal result is found?
We can provide follow-up recommendations and referral support where needed.
Depending on the abnormal finding, referral to relevant specialties such as urology, gastroenterology or oncology may be recommended for further diagnosis and consultation.
