THE PURPOSE BEHIND THE PANEL.

Selected markers.
Carefully interpreted.

These markers are used for particular diagnostic or monitoring questions, often alongside imaging, examination or other tests. Non-cancer conditions can affect them, while some cancers do not produce a raised result. The purpose of testing should be clear before the sample is collected.

Blood count — conceptual laboratory artwork1test or panel

1 included test or panel

Cells, counts and patterns.

A complete blood count describes red cells, white cells and platelets. The pattern can contribute to an assessment of anaemia, infection-related concerns or other clinical questions.

What this means in context

A count does not explain every abnormality. The full component list stays visible so a headline number does not hide the measurements.

KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE CHOOSING.

28 biomarkers.
The scope, made clear.

The headline measurement count includes multi-component panels where present. The included test records and their published nested measurements are displayed separately so the count is transparent.

Stool investigations

1 entry
Occult Blood (Fecal Occult Blood/FOB)

Looks for blood in stool that may not be visible. A positive finding does not by itself establish its cause.

Tumour-marker context

5 entries
Alpha Fetoprotein (AFP)

Measures AFP. Pregnancy, liver conditions and some tumours can affect this marker; it is not a stand-alone cancer diagnosis.

Read the test guide
CA-125

Measures CA-125, a marker used in selected clinical situations, including monitoring some ovarian cancers. Benign conditions can also raise it.

Read the test guide
CA-15-3

Measures CA 15-3, a marker sometimes used in monitoring established breast cancer. It is not a general breast cancer screening test.

Read the test guide
CA-19-9

Measures CA 19-9, used with other investigations in selected pancreatic and biliary conditions. It cannot confirm or exclude cancer alone.

Read the test guide
Carcino Embryonic Antigen (CEA)

Measures CEA, a marker used particularly in follow-up of some cancers. Smoking and non-cancer conditions can affect the result.

Read the test guide

Beta hCG

1 entry
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, Beta (Beta hCG), Total

Beta hCG is a quantitative blood measurement that can contribute to selected tumour-related investigations or monitoring. Its role depends on the clinical reason for requesting this package and the other findings. Pregnancy and non-cancer conditions can affect interpretation. An elevated marker does not establish cancer, and a result within range does not rule it out; the clinician considers other investigations where appropriate.

THE RIGHT START DEPENDS ON YOU.

A useful package.
A personal decision.

Choose the investigation around the question you want to discuss. This is not a comprehensive cancer screen, a substitute for recommended screening programmes or a way to rule out cancer.

01

A defined question

These markers are used for particular diagnostic or monitoring questions, often alongside imaging, examination or other tests. Non-cancer conditions can affect them, while some cancers do not produce a raised result. The purpose of testing should be clear before the sample is collected.

02

Matching a prescription

Compare the full included list with your clinician’s request. This is not a comprehensive cancer screen, a substitute for recommended screening programmes or a way to rule out cancer.

03

Following a previous finding

Bring earlier results and the relevant symptom or treatment history. The clinician can decide whether this scope, a smaller test selection or a different investigation is the most useful next step.

MAKE THE SAMPLE COUNT.

A little preparation.
A more useful result.

Preparation follows the actual specimen and tests in Cancer Markers (Female). Confirm your personal instructions before collection.

Laboratory informationClinical interpretation

RESULT + CONTEXT

Cells, counts and patterns.

A complete blood count describes red cells, white cells and platelets. The pattern can contribute to an assessment of anaemia, infection-related concerns or other clinical questions. A count does not explain every abnormality. The full component list stays visible so a headline number does not hide the measurements.

Questions to take to your clinician
  • What does this part of my result add to the clinical question?
  • Does the sample timing or a medicine affect this finding?
  • What follow-up is appropriate for this specific result?

THE NEXT STEP IS PERSONAL.

Bring the findings
back to you.

Connect the laboratory findings with the reason for this specific test. A report supports the next clinical conversation; it does not decide it for you.

clinician and adult patient discussing laboratory results
01

Review the marker for its intended purpose

Discuss each relevant marker with the clinician who requested it. A raised value needs context and a normal value does not exclude cancer; further tests depend on the specific clinical question.

02

Agree the next step

Discuss this result with a clinician who knows the reason for testing. Further investigations or follow-up depend on the actual findings and your circumstances.

BEFORE YOU BOOK.

A little more
clarity.

Preparation, sample types, timing and what the package does—and does not—include.

What is included in Cancer Markers (Female)?

Blood count, stool occult blood and a defined female tumour-marker selection for a clinician-directed assessment. The full named inventory on this page is the scope of the package.

Can normal tumour-marker results exclude cancer?

No. Some cancers do not raise these markers. Likewise, an elevated marker does not establish cancer; the clinical context and further investigations determine its significance.

Can a raised marker have a non-cancer cause?

Yes. Benign conditions, inflammation and other factors may raise some tumour markers. The marker and the clinical context matter.

Does this replace recommended cancer screening?

No. Appropriate screening may involve imaging, cervical screening, stool-based programmes or other approaches depending on age and risk.

Why might a clinician track a marker over time?

In selected established conditions, trends may support monitoring. A one-off value and a follow-up trend answer different questions.

How should I prepare?

This package does not require fasting for this testing. Confirm whether any additional tests in your booking change that instruction; do not alter prescribed medicines without advice.

Can I arrange collection in Dubai?

Yes. Choose home collection across Dubai or a visit to Intel Lab in Deira. Any health package waives the collection fee for its own visit; separate appointments are assessed separately.

What is the price and expected turnaround?

The package price is AED 499; the listed turnaround is 48 hours. Confirm collection and processing arrangements with the team. Turnaround is not a guarantee that every result will be released at one exact time.

What happens after I receive the result?

Review relevant findings with a qualified clinician alongside the reason for testing, symptoms, medicines and prior results. The report may lead to reassurance about the tested question, confirmation, a targeted investigation or follow-up—not an automatic treatment decision.

YOUR NEXT STEP. AROUND YOU.

A clearer question.
A more informed next step.
