Overview
A multi-cancer early detection program combining colonoscopy, mammography, low-dose CT lung screening, PSA testing, tumour markers, and genetic risk assessment to catch cancer at the most treatable stage. Traveling abroad for screening gives patients access to advanced oncology diagnostics at significantly lower cost.
Your case is matched to a centre on the basis of clinical outcome data, not marketing. We coordinate every step — from pre-operative work-up to post-treatment follow-up — with a dedicated care coordinator.

Cost & recovery by procedure
This treatment category covers several different operations with different levels of invasiveness, recovery times, and costs. The country averages above blend all of them together — use the breakdown below for a more realistic, procedure-specific estimate.
Colonoscopy Screening
A thin, flexible camera is passed through the rectum to examine the entire colon for polyps and early signs of colorectal cancer, removing any polyps found during the same procedure. Recommended for adults aged 45–75 at average risk, and earlier or more frequently for those with a family history or other risk factors.
Typical recovery · Same day
Requires a bowel-prep liquid diet and laxative the evening before; the procedure itself takes 20–30 minutes under sedation, with 1–2 hours of recovery from sedation before discharge. Patients should avoid driving for the rest of the day. Biopsy results, if any tissue was taken, typically take 3–7 days.

Mammography
A low-dose X-ray of breast tissue used to detect early breast cancer, often before a lump can be felt. Guidelines recommend women aged 45–54 be screened annually and women 55 and older every one to two years, with earlier or more frequent screening for those at higher risk.
Typical recovery · Same day
Outpatient scan taking 15–20 minutes with brief breast compression during image capture; no sedation and no downtime, patients resume normal activity immediately. Results are typically available within 24–72 hours, with any follow-up imaging arranged promptly if needed.

Low-Dose CT Lung Screening
A low-radiation-dose CT scan of the chest that looks for early lung nodules. Recommended for adults aged 50–80 with a significant smoking history (at least 20 pack-years) who currently smoke or quit within the past 15 years — it is not a general screening test for non-smokers.
Typical recovery · Same day
Outpatient scan lasting 10–15 minutes with no contrast injection and no special preparation required. No downtime — patients resume normal activity immediately. A radiologist's report is typically available within 24–48 hours.

Tumour Markers & Genetic Risk Panel
A blood panel (which may include PSA, CA-125, and CEA depending on sex and risk profile) combined with optional genetic testing for hereditary cancer mutations such as BRCA1/2. Tumour markers are not recommended as routine screening for average-risk individuals — they are most useful for people with a strong family history, known genetic risk, or as part of monitoring an existing diagnosis, and results should always be interpreted by a specialist alongside other findings.
Typical recovery · Same day
A single blood draw takes a few minutes and needs no downtime; an overnight fast may be requested for some panels. Tumour marker results are usually ready within 24–72 hours, while genetic risk panel results can take 1–3 weeks and should be reviewed with a genetic counsellor.

Frequently asked questions
The standard package screens for the most prevalent cancers in the international patient population: colorectal cancer (via colonoscopy), breast cancer (via digital mammography), lung cancer (via low-dose CT, recommended for smokers and high-risk patients), prostate cancer (via PSA blood test), ovarian cancer (via CA-125 and pelvic ultrasound), and general tumour markers including CEA and AFP. An optional genetic panel can assess hereditary risk for BRCA-related breast and ovarian cancers, Lynch syndrome for colorectal cancer, and other hereditary conditions. Your coordinating oncologist will recommend the most appropriate sub-panel based on your age, sex, and family history.
