Tumor marker packages
Tumor markers are substances or molecules in blood, urine or tissue samples that may indicate the presence or the risk of cancer. Regular tumor marker tests allow early detection of cancerous degenerations before symptoms appear. This provides the opportunity to diagnose tumors at an early stage and treat them more effectively, thus contributing to prevention and a better prognosis. It is important to note, however, that tumour marker tests are only part of the overall diagnostic process and positive results require further investigation and specialist assessment.

Tumor marker packages
About the Package
Our panel includes a broader range of tumor markers that, in some cases, can help diagnose various types of cancer. As part of our package, we examine tumor markers associated with abnormalities in the liver, colon, lungs, ovaries, breasts, pancreas, stomach, and bladder, as well as malignant melanoma. The calculation of the ROMA score can highly indicate the risk of developing ovarian cancer.
A negative result does not entirely rule out the presence of cancer. A positive value does not necessarily indicate a malignant tumor; in such cases, further examinations and consultation with your doctor are required to determine the cause of the elevated result.
Who do we recommend it for?
We primarily recommend these tests to female patients with a family history of cancer or those experiencing uncertain symptoms that may suggest the possibility of a tumor.
How to prepare for the test?
Arrive for the test on an empty stomach, which means a 12-hour fasting period (water consumption is recommended).

About the package
This panel contains a broader range of tumour markers that can be used to diagnose a number of tumour types in some cases. As part of our package, we are looking at tumour markers associated with lesions in the liver, colon, lung, testis, pancreas, stomach, prostate and bladder, as well as melanoma malignancies.
A negative result does not rule out the presence of a tumour with absolute certainty. A positive result does not necessarily mean a malignant tumour either, in which case further tests and a visit to your doctor are needed to find out the cause of the elevation.
Who is it recommended for?
We recommend the panel primarily to our male patients with a family history of cancer or with symptoms of uncertain origin that suggest the possibility of a tumour.
Tumour marker tests are generally (with some exceptions) not suitable for screening clinically asymptomatic healthy people for cancer according to the rules of the medical laboratory profession. Variation in tumour marker levels is more informative in the follow-up and monitoring of the treatment of patients with confirmed tumours and in the monitoring of possible clinical progression of the tumour.
How to prepare for the test?
Please arrive for the test on an empty stomach, which means fasting for 12 hours (water is recommended).

About the package
The Prostate Package includes PSA (prostate specific antigen), which is an indicator of prostate health, as well as other laboratory tests that can be used to characterise general health. Prostate diseases include acute and chronic prostatitis, benign prostatic enlargement and malignant prostate cancer. Symptoms of these diseases may also have similarities with complaints and symptoms associated with other diseases (e.g. cystitis, sexually transmitted diseases), such as frequent urge to urinate, difficulty in passing urine, bloody urine, painful urination. It is important to emphasise that prostate malignancies often cause no symptoms at all, so timely investigation is essential. We recommend that if you experience any of these symptoms, you should consult a specialist who can order the necessary laboratory tests.
Who is it recommend for?
Prostate cancer is the second most common malignancy in men. The incidence increases with age and there is a family history of the disease. It is highly curable if detected at an early, asymptomatic stage, which is why screening is of paramount importance. Screening (specialist examination and PSA test) is recommended every year from the age of 45. Because of the importance of screening, the Prostate Package is recommended for men over 45 years of age who are asymptomatic or have the symptoms listed, and for men with a family history of the disease. The Prostate Package also provides information for men, regardless of age, who are experiencing the symptoms described above and would like to get an accurate picture of the underlying problems.
How to prepare for the test?
Fasting blood sampling is recommended (fasting for 12 hours, no solid food, water recommended). Blood sampling should be done before or weeks after urological tests (rectal prostate examination, biopsy), as these tests affect the PSA level. Because of its effect on the development of the PSA level, ejaculation should not occur in the 24 hours prior to sampling. Please bring a sample in the appropriate collection container for urine testing (first urine sample in the morning, midstream).
