Upper GI X-ray: The upper GI x-ray checks the condition of the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum using a barium contrast medium that is ingested. Our clinic offers this imaging test as an alternative for those who do not wish to undergo an endoscopy. We have adopted a double-checking protocol where two separate doctors interpret all medical images.

Chest CT: The chest CT, a useful tool for early detection of lung cancer (the leading cause of death by cancer *), is also included in the standard course. The 80-slice CT scanner will take images of the lungs and mediastinum. The quality of the images is much higher compared to the chest x-rays.
* 2017 Statistical Data from the National Cancer Center Cancer Information Service

Three types of tumor markers: The standard course includes tumor marker testing for CEA, to detect gastrointestinal cancer (colorectum, rectum, stomach), lung, breast, pancreatic, uterine and cervical cancer; CA19-9, to detect gastrointestinal cancer (pancreas, gallbladder, bile duct); PSA for men, to detect prostate cancer; CA125 for women, to detect ovarian cancer.
