The Cancer Screen Package combines blood tests for tumour markers with imaging to look for early signs of cancer. CA 19.9, AFP and CEA are done for both men and women, with CA 125 and a Pap smear added for women and PSA for men. A chest X-ray and abdominal ultrasound look at the lungs and abdominal organs, while basic blood, kidney and liver tests support the picture. Tumour markers are screening tools, not final diagnoses, so a raised value usually leads to further tests.
