Cancer Risk Blood Test for Men
These male cancer risk blood tests compare panels of tumour markers that can support awareness of bowel, liver, pancreatic, prostate, testicular, stomach and lung health. They are most useful for men who want structured private insight alongside GP advice, particularly those with a family history, lifestyle concerns or symptoms that merit further discussion.
Comparing the Basic, Advanced and Comprehensive tiers shows how each level adds broader marker coverage while keeping results fast and easy to interpret. These tests are not a cancer diagnosis and do not replace NHS screening or imaging, but they can provide useful information for an informed conversation with a clinician.

Which Test Do I Need?
Which Cancer Risk Blood Test for Men is right for you?
Basic (£199.00): A focused first-line panel for men who want core tumour marker insight without fasting. It covers bowel CEA, liver AFP, pancreas CA 19-9 and prostate Total PSA, Free PSA and Free/Total PSA ratio. Results are typically available in 3 days.
Advanced (£349.00): Builds on the Basic panel with additional testicular, stomach and lung markers. It adds hCG + β, CA 72-4, CA 242, CYFRA 21-1, NSE and ProGRP, making it suitable for men who want broader organ coverage while still avoiding fasting. Results are typically available in 3 days.
Comprehensive (£499.00): Builds on Advanced with deeper marker coverage, including SCC, ferritin, β2-Microglobulin, H. pylori antibody and pepsinogen I, II and ratio. This tier requires fasting and is best for men seeking the most extensive private panel in this comparison. Results are typically available in 3 days.
Clinical Recommendation
Choose Basic for a concise prostate, bowel, liver and pancreas overview, Advanced for wider testicular, stomach and lung marker coverage, or Comprehensive for the fullest panel including gastric and additional blood markers. Tumour markers can rise for benign reasons, so discuss results with a GP or specialist and do not use this test as a substitute for NHS screening, imaging or diagnostic assessment.
