Diagnostic Blood Testing & Tumour Markers

Comprehensive diagnostic blood testing including metabolic panels, lipid profiles, hormonal assays, tumour markers, and the LucenceINSIGHT multi-cancer early detection test screening up to 50 cancer types from a single blood draw.

Premier Health Screening Centre provides a wide range of diagnostic blood testing services, from standard metabolic and hormonal panels to advanced cancer detection technologies. Blood tests are integrated into the centre's health screening packages and can also be ordered individually based on clinical need. Routine blood panels cover full blood count, comprehensive metabolic panel (glucose, kidney function, liver enzymes), lipid profile (total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, triglycerides), thyroid function, and inflammatory markers such as C-reactive protein. Hormonal assays are available for both men and women, addressing reproductive health, adrenal function, and metabolic hormones. Tumour marker testing is a core component of the cancer screening package. Markers include PSA (prostate), CA125 (ovarian), CA19-9 (gastrointestinal), CEA (colorectal/lung), AFP (liver), and CA15-3 (breast), among others. These are paired with imaging for more accurate risk stratification. For advanced cancer detection, the centre offers LucenceINSIGHT, a liquid biopsy test that detects circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) in the blood to screen for early-stage cancers across up to 50 cancer types — including many cancers that lack routine screening tools. This test is particularly valuable for individuals with a family history of cancer or those seeking comprehensive peace of mind beyond standard tumour markers. All blood results are reviewed by Dr Tan Winnie during a post-screening consultation, with clear explanations and recommendations for follow-up or lifestyle adjustments provided.
