These procedures are commonly associated with the health areas covered by this screening package.

Bone Marrow/Stem Cell Transplant

Potentially curative transplantation of healthy hematopoietic stem cells to replace damaged bone marrow, treating blood cancers like leukemia and lymphoma, bone marrow failure syndromes, and certain genetic diseases.

Oncology

CAR-T Cell Therapy

Genetically engineered immune cells (CAR-T) that target and destroy cancer cells, offering 80-90% remission rates for eligible blood cancer patients per CIBMTR registry data. Thailand facilities report significant cost savings compared to US treatment.

Oncology

Systemic Chemotherapy Cycles

Cyclic cytotoxic chemotherapy using cell-killing drugs to destroy rapidly dividing cancer cells throughout the body. Treatment given in 21-28 day cycles allows recovery between sessions, with 4-8 cycles over 3-6 months depending on cancer type and response. Thailand offers 50-70% cost savings with JCI-accredited facilities using identical NCCN-guideline protocols.

About This Package

The Cancer Vigilance Screen provides multi-marker screening for the most common cancers affecting adults. Using a combination of advanced imaging, tumor markers, and clinical assessment, this package screens for indicators of common cancers.

Early Detection Matters

When cancer indicators are identified early, before potential spread, treatment options may be more favorable. Early identification may support timely medical decisions. This screening package is designed to identify potential concerns early.

Tumor Marker Panel

Our tumor marker panel screens for proteins associated with various cancers. While elevated markers don’t always indicate cancer, they serve as important warning signs that prompt further investigation.

Advanced Imaging

The low-dose chest CT is particularly valuable for lung cancer screening—it can detect small nodules years before they would be visible on standard X-ray. Combined with abdominal and pelvic ultrasound, we can visualize internal organs for abnormalities.

Gender-Specific Screening

The package includes gender-appropriate tests: mammogram and breast ultrasound for women, PSA testing for men. These are the most effective screening methods for the most common gender-specific cancers.

What to Expect

Plan for a full morning at the hospital. Testing moves efficiently through various stations, with comfortable waiting areas between procedures. Results are reviewed with an oncologist who can explain findings and recommend any follow-up needed.

Preparation Guidelines

Fast for 10-12 hours before your appointment
Avoid alcohol for 48 hours prior
Complete bowel preparation for stool tests as instructed
Women: schedule 5-7 days after menstruation ends
Do not use deodorant on mammogram day (women)
Bring previous imaging results if available

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this screening detect all cancers?

No screening can detect all cancers, but this package covers the most common and detectable cancers including lung, liver, colon, breast, ovarian, prostate, pancreatic, and thyroid cancers.

Are tumor markers always accurate?

Tumor markers are screening tools, not diagnostic tests. Elevated levels may indicate cancer but can also result from other conditions. Any abnormal results prompt further investigation with definitive tests.

Why is low-dose chest CT included?

Low-dose CT is the most effective lung cancer screening method, particularly valuable for current or former smokers. It can detect lung nodules much earlier than chest X-ray.

What happens if something suspicious is found?

Our oncology specialists will review findings immediately. Additional diagnostic tests (biopsy, PET scan, etc.) can be arranged promptly if needed. We coordinate follow-up care whether you stay in Thailand or return home.
