Cancer Screen
Early Detection Matters
Cancer screening involves looking for cancer before any symptoms appear. It’s important to remember that a screening test doesn’t imply a suspicion of cancer; it’s a proactive measure to detect potential issues early. Since cancer often starts small, symptoms like pain, bloating, or lumps may indicate an advanced stage. Regular exercise and a balanced diet can help prevent chronic illnesses such as cancer, hypertension, and diabetes, but some cancers can arise unexpectedly. For instance, 10–15% of lung cancer cases occur in non-smokers. This highlights the importance of screening even when you feel perfectly healthy.
NewLife Clinic’s Early Cancer Screening Program
At NewLife Clinic, we align with national healthcare policies on early cancer detection. Our comprehensive approach includes assessing risk factors and identifying potential issues indicative of early-stage cancer. Based on your personal and family history, our doctors will collaborate with you to create a personalized screening plan through informed decision-making.
Screening Tests We Offer:
-
Physical Exam and History:
- A thorough body examination to identify any unusual signs, such as lumps or abnormalities.
- Collection of your medical history, including health habits and past illnesses.
-
Laboratory Tests:
- Testing of samples like blood, urine, or tissue to identify abnormalities.
-
Imaging Procedures:
- Using advanced techniques to create internal images of the body for analysis.
-
Genetic Tests:
- Analyzing DNA or chromosomes to detect changes that may indicate a risk for specific cancers.
NewLife Clinic's Specialized Early Cancer Detection Screens
1. Early Cancer Screening for Digestive System
Detects the five most common digestive system cancers:
- Esophageal Cancer
- Stomach Cancer
- Liver Cancer
- Colorectal Cancer
- Pancreatic Cancer
Multigene Methylation Detection Technology:
Principle: Analyzes DNA methylation patterns that regulate gene expression. Abnormal methylation can silence tumor-suppressor genes or activate oncogenes.- Applications:
- Colon Cancer: Early detection through stool or blood tests.
- Esophageal Cancer: Diagnosis using endoscopic samples.
- Stomach Cancer: Gastric fluid or tissue analysis.
- Liver Cancer: Detection for high-risk populations via fluid or tissue samples.
- Pancreatic Cancer: Diagnosis using pancreatic fluid or biopsies.
Advantages:
- High sensitivity and specificity.
- Non-invasive testing options.
- Supports personalized treatment strategies.
2. 
Cervical and Endometrial Cancer Early Screening
Early screening helps detect cervical and endometrial cancers at treatable stages, improving outcomes and enabling personalized risk assessments.
How It’s Tested:
- Cervical Smear Testing: Cells from cervical smears or biopsies are analyzed for cancer-specific methylation patterns.
- DNA Methylation Analysis: Focuses on methylation changes in DNA, which are often linked to cancer.
Advantages for Cervical Cancer:
- Identifies precancerous and early-stage lesions.
- Enhances accuracy when combined with HPV testing and Pap smears.
Advantages for Endometrial Cancer:
- Detects early-stage cancer and monitors progression or recurrence.
- Differentiates between benign and malignant conditions, aiding in treatment planning.
These advanced screening methods represent a significant leap in early cancer detection, offering sensitive, non-invasive, and personalized solutions for better health outcomes.
