View full comparisonThe Cancer Risk Blood Test for Men - Advanced is a comprehensive screening panel designed for men who want a broad, structured insight into their cancer risk profile. It brings together eleven tumour markers that are associated with a range of cancers affecting men, including gastrointestinal, lung, testicular, and other tumour types. This panel is suited to men with a family history of cancer, those with lifestyle or occupational risk factors, or anyone seeking a proactive baseline assessment in discussion with their doctor.
A simple blood sample is collected by a trained phlebotomist, and the panel measures the following markers, grouped by clinical area:
General and gastrointestinal tumour markers
- Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA): a marker often associated with colorectal and other gastrointestinal cancers.
- Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP): a marker associated with liver and germ cell tumours.
- Carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9): a marker associated with pancreatic and biliary tract cancers.
- CA 72-4: a marker associated with gastric and other gastrointestinal cancers.
- CA 242: a marker associated with pancreatic and colorectal cancers.
Gynaecological and breast tumour markers
- Carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA 125): a marker that can be elevated in certain cancers, including ovarian and other pelvic tumours.
- Carbohydrate antigen 15-3 (CA 15-3): a marker associated with breast cancer.
Additional tumour markers
- CYFRA 21-1: a marker associated with lung cancer, particularly non-small cell lung cancer.
- NSE (neuron-specific enolase): a marker associated with neuroendocrine tumours and small cell lung cancer.
- ProGRP: a marker associated with small cell lung cancer and other neuroendocrine tumours.
- hCG + β (human chorionic gonadotrophin and beta subunit): a marker associated with testicular germ cell tumours and certain other cancers.
Why it matters
Tumour markers can provide valuable clues about cancer risk and may support early detection or monitoring in the right clinical context. This advanced panel gives you and your doctor a broad, structured set of results to discuss, helping to guide further investigation or reassurance. It is not a diagnosis on its own, and results should always be interpreted alongside your medical history, symptoms, and other investigations.
No special fasting required. Drink plenty of water prior to your appointment for a smooth blood draw.
- Identification: Photo ID (Passport or Driving Licence) is only required if you need your report for official, employment, visa/travel, premarital, or Identity-Verified Certificate (IVS) purposes (not required for personal health & wellness testing).
This test provides an official, quality-assured laboratory report with reference ranges. These results are for clinical information and do not replace your GP or consultant. Always discuss abnormal results with your GP or specialist in the context of your medical history.
- Check whether your test needs fasting: We will tell you when you book, and the FAQ for your test will also say.
- Drink plenty of water beforehand: Being well hydrated makes blood collection easier.
- Wear clothing with sleeves that roll up easily.
- Bring a list of any medicines you take.
