Cancer Risk Blood Test for Women
This group of blood tests measures a panel of tumour markers used alongside clinical assessment to support cancer risk evaluation in women. It is not a standalone cancer screening test, but it can provide useful information for people with symptoms, family history, or those seeking a structured private health review.
Comparing the Basic, Advanced and Comprehensive tiers helps you choose the right level of biomarker coverage, from core gastrointestinal and gynaecological markers to broader lung, gastric and supporting markers. Results are returned in three days, with clear guidance to discuss any findings with your GP or specialist.

Which Test Do I Need?
Which Cancer Risk Blood Test for Women is right for you?
Basic (£199.00): A concise core panel for women seeking a straightforward private baseline review. It includes CEA, AFP, CA 19-9, CA 125 and CA 15-3, covering general, gastrointestinal, gynaecological and breast-associated tumour markers. No fasting is required and results are available in 3 days.
Advanced (£349.00): Builds on the Basic tier by adding HE4 with CA 125 for a ROMA score, plus CA 72-4 and CA 242 for broader gastrointestinal assessment. It also adds lung-associated markers CYFRA 21-1, NSE and ProGRP. This tier suits women wanting wider marker coverage, particularly with a family history or symptoms requiring more detailed review. No fasting is required.
Comprehensive (£499.00): Builds on the Advanced tier with supporting markers ferritin, beta-2 microglobulin and SCC, plus gastric health markers including H. pylori antibody and pepsinogen I and II with the PG I/II ratio. This is the fullest panel for women wanting the broadest private tumour marker and gastric health review. Fasting is required.
Clinical Recommendation
Choose Basic for a concise baseline, Advanced for broader gastrointestinal, ovarian and lung-associated marker coverage, and Comprehensive for the widest panel including gastric and supporting markers. Tumour markers can be raised by benign conditions and may be normal in cancer, so results must be interpreted by a clinician. Do not delay GP advice or NHS screening if you have symptoms or a strong family history.
