Given my family history or personal risk factors, are common cancer-relevant markers within normal range?
Best for
Men with family history of cancer, or elevated personal risk factors — not intended as a substitute for population-based screening guidelines set by your doctor.

the presence or absence of cancer anywhere in the body — CA125 in particular has known limitations for average-risk screening (USPSTF advises against it for that use). This panel is risk/history-driven, not a substitute for your gynaecologist's population screening schedule. (USPSTF)
⚠ USPSTF advises against CA-125/USG screening for asymptomatic average-risk women — risk/history-driven use only · Diagnostics only (USPSTF)
What's included
CEA — Carcinoembryonic antigen — general tumour marker, most relevant to colorectal cancer
CA19.9 — Pancreatic and GI tract marker
AFP — Alpha-fetoprotein — liver cancer marker
PSA — Prostate-specific antigen
What normal doesn't rule out
the presence or absence of cancer anywhere in the body — tumour markers have real false-positive and false-negative rates, and this panel is risk/history-driven, not a substitute for population screening guidelines set by your doctor.
Not included
Genetic/hereditary cancer testing (see F24)
Organ-function panel (see F1)
Imaging (discussed separately if indicated)
Not the right fit if
you have symptoms suggestive of a specific cancer (unexplained weight loss, persistent pain, a lump) — that needs prompt clinician-directed diagnostic workup, not a general risk panel.
Preparation

Clinically relevant
Add-ons matched to this package — not “frequently bought”.
Strongly relevant: F24-T2 Hereditary Cancer Panel — for anyone with a strong family history, genetic testing gives a more definitive risk picture
Sometimes relevant: F1 organ-function panel — worth pairing for a fuller general health picture
Strongly relevant: F24-T2 Hereditary Cancer Panel — for anyone with a strong family history, especially BRCA-relevant history
Sometimes relevant: F1 organ-function panel — worth pairing for a fuller general health picture
F1 (Quick Health Screen) for the organ-function panel this doesn't cover, or F24 Hereditary Cancer Panel if you have a strong family history warranting genetic testing.
