Some substances in the body are called tumour markers, or cancer markers. Some are produced by cancer cells. Others are made by the body in response to cancer, or to other conditions. Many can be detected in blood.
A cancer marker test is a simple, minimally invasive blood test that measures these specific substances. There are several types, and each is linked to specific cancers. A raised level may indicate the presence of cancer, but markers can also rise due to noncancerous conditions.
As part of early detection, they can flag a change worth checking. They work best within a wider health screening.
Recognised tumour markers, with sex-specific coverage for men and women.
The VIP Cancer Monitoring package pairs recognised tumour markers with the wider blood work needed to interpret them properly, because a single marker rarely tells the whole story.
Included: InBody muscle and fat composition analysis and a 1-hour blood report review with personalised nutrition analysis. Together, this gives a picture of your overall health, not just one number.
No tumour marker is specific to one cancer, and each can rise for other reasons. This is general background; ranges vary by laboratory.
| Marker | Full name | Often linked to | Can also rise with |
|---|---|---|---|
| CEA | Carcinoembryonic antigen | Bowel and other digestive cancers | Smoking, inflammation |
| CA 19-9 | Carbohydrate antigen 19-9 | Pancreas and bile duct cancers | Bile duct blockage, pancreatitis |
| AFP | Alpha-fetoprotein, an oncofetal protein | Primary liver cancer | Hepatitis, other liver conditions, pregnancy |
| CA 72-4 | Cancer antigen 72-4 | Stomach (gastric) cancer | Some noncancerous conditions |
| PSA (men) | Prostate-specific antigen | Prostate cancer | An enlarged or inflamed prostate |
| CA 125 | Cancer antigen 125 | Ovarian cancer | Endometriosis, fibroids, menstruation |
| CA 15-3 | Cancer antigen 15-3 | Breast cancer | Some noncancerous conditions |
The VIP Cancer Monitoring package covers CEA, CA 19-9, AFP and CA 72-4, plus CA 125 and CA 15-3 for women and PSA for men. For ovary-focused screening, see our ovarian cancer screening .

Screening is worth discussing if you:
A tumour marker panel does not replace other cancer screening your doctor may recommend for your age, sex and cancer risk.
Tumour markers are a monitoring and early-flag tool. They cannot diagnose cancer, and a normal result does not rule it out.
Not every type of cancer raises a marker, and markers may rise in conditions other than cancer, such as inflammation, liver conditions or an enlarged prostate. Only further tests, such as imaging and biopsies arranged by a specialist, can confirm or rule out cancer.
Our team explains what your numbers mean and when a specialist referral is warranted.
A single result is a snapshot. Marker levels vary based on the laboratory and on other health conditions, so your result is read against the range on your own report. How a level changes over time often says more, which is why we ask you to bring previous results.
An elevated marker is a reason to look further, not an answer. We read it alongside your organ function, inflammation and metabolic results, so we can interpret results in context.
In cancer care, doctors use these levels to evaluate treatment and watch for recurrence. That is outside what we do. Our role is screening, and helping you understand what your results mean.
Fast for 8–12 hours before your appointment for the glucose and lipid components. Plain water is fine.
Bring your ID and any previous results for comparison.
Your results are reviewed with you in a dedicated 1-hour consultation.

Yes. Fast for 8–12 hours before your appointment for the glucose and lipid components. Plain water is fine.
They are useful, but not exact. A marker can be raised without cancer, and some cancers do not raise any marker. That is why we read them alongside your other results, and never on their own.
No. You can book it as a proactive baseline, for example if you are over 40, smoke or have a family history of cancer. If you have symptoms that worry you, see a doctor rather than waiting for a screening.
Routine results usually take 24–72 hours. Specialised panels may take longer. We will confirm the timing when you book.
