Faecal occult blood test to detect early signs of colorectal diseases.
Cancer risk screening uses blood-based tumor markers, genetic risk panels, or non-invasive tests to assess your risk for various cancers. Blood-based markers like PSA, CA-125, CEA, and AFP can detect elevated levels associated with certain cancer types. These tests are not diagnostic on their own but identify individuals who may benefit from further investigation. Early detection dramatically improves outcomes for most cancers. Screening programs are especially valuable for those with family history, known genetic risk factors, or age-related risk increases.
