    What is a Cancer Screening Profile - Male ?

    The Cancer Screening Profile Test is intended to diagnose cancer early, often before symptoms arise or the disease advances. Evidence suggests that such screenings enhance the probability of effective cancer treatment. The tests detect specific markers in the blood, which are proteins either produced by cancer cells or resulting from DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) changes. Identifying these markers can reveal crucial information about the presence and type of cancer. The Cancer Screening Profile-Male is a comprehensive package targeting cancers that predominantly affect men, including those of the liver, pancreas, lungs, prostate, testes, and intestines. The test measures key proteins in the blood, such as Cancer Antigen 19-9, Alpha-Fetoprotein, Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA), and Prostate-Specific Antigen.

    This screening is advisable as a precaution, particularly if there is a family history of cancer, allowing for a proactive approach to health by catching potential issues early, thereby improving treatment effectiveness and outcomes.

    Cancer Screening Profile - Male Parameters

    Alpha Feto Protein (AFP)

    Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA)

    The PSA test measures the level of prostate-specific antigen in a man's blood. PSA is a protein produced by both normal and malignant cells in the prostate gland. The test can help detect prostate cancer early, but it has limitations and its use in prostate cancer screening is controversial.

    Carbohydrate Antigen 19-9 (CA 19.9)

    Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA)

    This test measures the amount of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) in the blood. CEA is a protein that may be higher in certain types of cancer, especially colorectal cancer. It can be used to monitor treatment for cancer or to check for recurrence of cancer.

    Complete Blood Count (CBC) with ESR

    This is a combination of the Complete Blood Count (CBC), which measures various components of the blood, along with the Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR). The ESR is a type of blood test that measures how quickly erythrocytes (red blood cells) settle at the bottom of a test tube containing a blood sample. A faster than normal rate may indicate a systemic disease, such as inflammation, infection, or cancer.
