Cancer Risk Detection for Various Types of Cancer

In the modern era, the incidence of cancer is increasing due to changes in lifestyle. Early detection of cancer is therefore more important than ever. Medical technology has advanced, particularly with the detection of cancer cells through blood circulation (Circulating Tumor Cells), which aids in identifying breast cancer, prostate cancer, and colorectal cancer. This allows for timely treatment. Dr. Narinthorn Surasinthan from The Longevist Clinic has shared insights on current cancer screening methods and emphasizes the importance of regular health check-ups to detect diseases in their early stages.

Cancer Detection Process

Cancer detection often begins with blood tests to check for tumor markers, such as:

AFP for liver cancer

CEA for colorectal cancer

PSA for prostate cancer in men

CA 125 for ovarian cancer

CA 153 for breast cancer

CA 19-9 for pancreatic cancer

While these tests help in monitoring existing cancer patients, abnormal values in healthy individuals do not always indicate the presence of cancer. For example, high CEA levels can result from smoking or diabetes, and high AFP levels in those who are carriers of hepatitis B or pregnant do not necessarily indicate liver cancer.

Dr. Narinthorn emphasizes that if abnormal test results are found, further testing should be conducted, such as:

Liver ultrasound if AFP levels are high

Colonoscopy if CEA levels are high

Prostate ultrasound if PSA levels are high

Additionally, cancer screenings should follow appropriate standards based on age and gender, such as:

Pap smear for cervical cancer after age 20 or within 3 years of the first sexual intercourse

Mammogram and breast ultrasound starting at age 40 for breast cancer

Colonoscopy every 5 years starting at age 50 for colorectal cancer

Dr. Narinthorn also notes that these tests not only help in finding cancer but also aid in disease prevention by monitoring and avoiding risk factors, such as exposure to toxins or stress. Regular health check-ups and proper screenings are crucial for the early detection and prevention of cancer, leading to better treatment outcomes and reducing the chances of the disease advancing to a severe stage.

Genetic Code Detection for Cancer Cells

The Longevist Clinic also offers a Genetic Code Detection Program to identify the risk of future cancers. This allows for effective planning to prevent cancer development.
