Multi-Cancer Early Detection Screen

Multi-Cancer Early Detection Screen

Cancer symptoms often do not visibly appear in the body until later.

The Multi-Cancer Early Detection Screen (LucenceINSIGHT) uses liquid biopsy to detect cancer-associated alterations in DNA fragments circulating in blood to pick up early cancers. It uses sequencing technology to locate where the circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) might have originated from. It is recommended for individuals aged 40 and above or those with an elevated cancer risk.

Lungs Screening

Lung Screening

Lung cancer can spread quickly and silently, but early detection through a lung screening can drastically improve treatment outcomes.

This screening is strongly recommended if you have a family history of lung cancer, significant smoking history, or frequent exposure to secondhand smoke.

Mammogram Screening Singapore

Mammogram Screening

This special X-ray imaging tool detects abnormalities in the breast like calcium deposits and tumours. The mammogram is currently one of the most reliable screening tools for breast cancer. It is recommended that women 40 years old and above schedule regular mammograms to detect breast cancer early.

Genetics Testing

Genetics Testing

Genetics testing can uncover genetic mutations and diagnose genetic conditions before symptoms appear. It helps to personalise health prevention plans that may be more effective.

It is generally recommended if you have a family history and/or symptoms of cancer and heart diseases.

Frequently Asked Questions

Certain screening tests, such as blood tests and ultrasound scans, may require you to fast for at least 8 - 10 hours prior to the test. Usually, you will be asked to refrain from consuming food from 12am on the day of your appointment. Drinking plain water is permitted. Our clinic staff will advise you on whether fasting is required for your tests and when you should start fasting.

If you are taking the Faecal Immunochemical Test (FIT), please collect the kit from any of our Parkway Shenton or Executive Health Screening clinics. Collect your stool sample 1 day before your appointment, and store it at room temperature away from sunlight.

For females, kindly note that Pap smear, urine, blood tumour markers and stool tests should be done at least 5 days after your period to ensure better accuracy of results. Do inform our clinic staff if you require further assistance. If you are going for a mammogram, please do not wear any perfume, cream or cosmetics under your arms or around the chest area.

Our cancer screening packages will take approximately 1 – 3 hours to complete, depending on the types of screening tests required.

For blood tests, a blood sample will be taken from a vein in your arm. You may feel a slight sting as the needle is inserted or removed. This test usually takes less than 5 minutes.

For imaging tests (such as ultrasound and CT scans), the procedure will be done at one of our Executive Health Screening (EHS) clinics in a hospital. You may return for a follow-up appointment at your preferred Parkway Shenton or EHS clinic to review your test results with a doctor.

There is very little risk associated with blood tests. You may experience slight pain or bruising at the site where the needle was inserted, but these should resolve quickly within a few days.

Some imaging tests, such as mammograms and CT scans, may expose you to radiation from X-rays. However, the risk is low and does not outweigh the benefits of health screening.

There is no risk associated with urine or stool tests.

It may take around 1 – 2 weeks for the test results to be ready. Your doctor will review the results with you and advise on follow-up action, if necessary. You can also opt for softcopies of the results or collect physical copies in person or via mail.

Raised tumour markers do not necessarily indicate the presence of cancer. Some benign conditions can also result in elevated levels of tumour markers. To confirm if cancer is present, you may need further investigations such as imaging tests or a biopsy. Please consult your doctor for more advice.

A cancer screening can be a powerful way to help detect cancer early, but it is not always accurate. It may falsely label a normal tissue as potentially cancerous (false positive) and cause a false alarm. Any abnormal findings may require further investigations or a referral to a specialist, and this may cause anxiety in people diagnosing for cancer.

Sometimes, cancer screenings may also miss a cancer and not pick up all occult diseases (false negative).

Hence, the roles of healthcare professionals include understanding screening tests and discussing their benefits and limitations with patients. It is recommended to speak with a doctor to find out the most appropriate screening test for you.
