Cancer Screen Package (Male) – AED 299

The Cancer Screen Package (male panel) at Dr. Sabah Al Sakban Medical Center on Najda Street is a blood test panel of six tumour markers, reviewed with GP Dr Aiswarya Alexander. It is a special offer at AED 299 and can be paid in instalments with Tabby or Tamara.

Female panel also available – AED 299: AFP, CA 125, CA 15.3, CA 19.9, CEA and beta hCG quantitative.

Tests included

• Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) – associated with the liver.
• CA 19.9 – associated with the pancreas and digestive tract.
• CEA (carcinoembryonic antigen) – associated with the bowel and other organs.
• PSA total – prostate-specific antigen.
• PSA free – helps interpret a raised total PSA.
• Beta hCG quantitative.

What tumour markers can and cannot tell you

Tumour markers are substances that can be raised in some cancers, but they can also be raised by infections, inflammation, benign prostate enlargement, liver conditions and smoking. A normal result does not rule out cancer, and a raised result does not mean you have cancer. That is why your results are always reviewed by the doctor, who looks at them together with your age, symptoms and family history and advises whether any further tests or a specialist referral are needed.

Who may consider this panel

• Men over 40 who want a baseline as part of a yearly check-up.
• Men with a family history of prostate, bowel, pancreatic or liver cancer.
• Men who have already been advised to monitor PSA.

If you have symptoms such as unexplained weight loss, blood in the stool or urine, or difficulty passing urine, please book a GP consultation so the doctor can examine you as well as arrange tests.

For a broader yearly check, pair this panel with the GWC 5-in-1 General Wellness Check.
