Cancer SafeŽ Test range

The Cancer Safe® Test range are highly sophisticated tests that detect cancer ‘tumour markers’ early and before a tumour becomes malignant. Our affiliated laboratories use the most advanced technology and equipment in order to provide you with reliable, accurate results.

What are Tumour Markers?

Tumour Markers are substances (usually proteins) that are produced by the body in response to cancer growth. In the presence of cancer, these substances are elevated and detectable in blood samples.

If you are concerned about Lung Cancer, Ovarian Cancer, Breast Cancer or any other Cancer, the Cancer Safe® Test is the perfect test for you.

Why do a Cancer Safe® Test?

Early detection of cancer is important. If cancer is detected at an early stage, it can be curable. This can save your life or at least allow you to get a baseline for the future. In order to cover a large range of cancers (the main ones), the Cancer Safe® Test range of tests incorporate the main tumour markers detected worldwide.


» Breast Cancer » Colorectal Cancer
» Lung Cancer » Ovarian Cancer
» Prostate Cancer » Thyroid Cancer
» Lymphocytic Leukemia » Pancreatic Cancer
» Stomach Cancer » Cervical Cancer
The tests that we offer can detect the following cancers- some are available as individual tests or, collectively in one test known as the 'comprehensive Cancer Safe® Test.

SmokerŽ Test (Lung Cancer)

What is Smoker® Test?
The Smoker ® Test is a sophisticated blood test which can be useful in detecting lung cancer, and recurrences of lung cancer, before clinical signals appear. Early detection can lead to a cure and can help to increase the overall health of clients by enhancing and promoting health, wellness and quality of life.

Why should you do SmokerŽ Test?
Smoker ® Test can detect lung cancers before the appearance of any clinical or radiological (visible on x-ray) signs. Generally, if diagnosed using x-ray, it has been diagnosed too late and 50% show that the cancer has already spread to other organs.

It is advisable to have regular SmokerŽ Test checks in all people who:
  • Inhale cigarette or shisha smoke (whether you smoke only once or twice a day or smoke heavily)
  • Have a hereditary risk of developing cancer
  • Currently have or previously have had exposure to radon gases, asbestos and certain chemicals like vinyl chloride, nickel chromates and coal products.
  • Are passive smokers, ie. people that are in the same vicinity of cigarette smokers are also at risk of developing lung cancers due to the inhalation of second hand smoke.


SHISHA

Shisha smokers are more at risk of developing lung cancer than cigarette smokers as they are exposed to larger volumes of smoke. Though often thought of as less harmful than cigarettes due to using 'fruit tobacco's' , at a study by the Department of Health and Tobacco Control Collaborating Centre, shows that smoking shisha is as dangerous or more dangerous than cigarettes. Carbon Monoxide levels were 4-5 times higher than those produced from smoking a cigarette.

Ovarian Safe® Test

What is Ovarian Safe® Test?
Cancersafe is a sophisticated blood test which provides a new form of screening for detecting ovarian cancers. Ovarian cancer is often called a "silent killer" because many times there are often no symptoms until the disease has progressed to an advanced stage. Early symptoms of ovarian cancer are often mild, making this disease difficult to detect.


Why do Ovarian Safe® Test?
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Computerised Tomography (CT), and pelvic ultrasound are commonly used to detect ovarian cancers. These methods however will only detect the cancer when it has reached a significant size of at least 1-2cms.

Ovarian Safe® Test can detect tumour markers in the blood and can identify the cancer before it becomes symptomatic or visible using the above diagnostic tools.

People who should take this test to detect and monitor the development of ovarian cancers regularly are:
  • People who have blood relatives (grandmother, mother, sisters, aunts) on either your mother's or father's side of the family who had ovarian or breast cancer diagnosed before age 50.
  • While having a family history of ovarian cancer increases your risk, 90–95% of all ovarian cancers occur in women who do not have a family history.
  • Research has shown that some women are at increased risk of ovarian cancer following hormone replacement therapy post menopause.
  • Researchers have found that using the fertility drug clomiphene citrate (Clomid®) for longer than one year may increase the risk for developing ovarian tumours.

Breast SafeŽTest

What is Breast SafeŽTest?
Breast Safe® Test is a blood test which detects and measures tumour markers in the presence of breast cancer. It helps to identify breast cancer at an early stage before any symptoms appear.

Why do Breast SafeŽ Test?
If detected early, survival rate exceeds 95%. As there is no routine breast screening programme as yet for the Middle East, it is important to take responsibility and check for evidence of breast cancer.
  • People who have blood relatives (grandmother, mother, sisters, aunts) on either your mother's or father's side of the family who had breast cancer diagnosed before age 50.
  • There is both breast and ovarian cancer in one's family, particularly in a single individual.
  • Women in the family have had cancer in both breasts.
  • A man in the family has had breast cancer.
  • Even if there is no history and you are over 40 years of age, it may be advisable to be screened as part of a routine health check.

Colon Safe®Test

What is a Colon Safe®Test?
The Colon Safe® test has been developed to detect growths in the bowel or rectum long before it may develop into colorectal cancer.

Why do a Colon Safe® Test?
People should go for screening of the colon once a year. People having blood relatives on either your mother’s or father’s side of the family who suffered from colon cancer are at increased risk of developing it themselves. One of the strongest risk factors for colon cancer is age. Besides this, smokers, drinkers, sedentary and obese persons are more likely to develop colon cancers.

Anybody that experiences the following may also benefit from taking this test:
  • A change in bowel habit like diarrhoea or constipation
  • Blood in stool (either bright red or very dark)
  • Stools narrower than normal
  • General abdominal discomfort
  • Unexplained weight loss
  • Feeling of incomplete evacuation
  • Constant tiredness

Cancer SafeŽ (comprehensive) Test

What is Cancer SafeŽ (comprehensive) test?
Cancer Safe® test is a highly sophisticated test to detect early cancer. Tumour markers have long been used, either to screen for cancers or to monitor cancer treatments, to track and screen for recurrences. Tumour markers are molecules that appear in relation to development of some of the most important cancers. Measurement or identification of tumour markers is useful, because it can detect substances at early stages indicating that further medical attention is needed.

Cancer Safe® test can also be useful in follow-up if you are being treated for the illness. Variations of the tumour markers can be followed by regular tests. Slight to moderate increases of these tumour markers may occur 6-12 months before clinical signs of relapse.

The comprehensive Cancer Safe® test includes testing for many cancers as listed below and detects a panel of 10 tumour markers for women and 11 tumour markers for men.

The detection panel looking for 10 specific tumour markers in women includes:
CA 15-3(Breast Cancer), CA 125(Ovarian, Lung, Pancreatic, Breast Cancer) CA 19-9(Colorectal, Pancreatic), CA 72-4(Ovarian and Stomach), B2M(Blood cell cancers, eg. Leukaemia and Multiple Myeloma), CYFRA 21-1(Head and Neck), NSE(Neuron specific tumours of central nervous system), BHCG(Ovarian), AFP(Liver), CEA(Colon and Rectal.)

The detection panel looking for 11 specific tumour markers in men includes:
CA 19-9(Colorectal, Pancreatic), CA 125(Lung, Pancreatic, Breast Cancer), CA 72-4(Stomach), BHCG(testicular), B2M(Blood cell cancers, eg. Leukaemia and Multiple Myeloma), NSE(Neuron specific tumours of central nervous system), CYFRA 21-1(Head and Neck), PSA & fPSA(Prostate and %free prostate), AFP(Liver), CEA(Colon and Rectal.)

Who should perform the test?
For early diagnosis, everybody should take the Cancer Safe® (comprehensive test); however, certain high risk groups such as persons with a known familial history of cancer should be particularly encouraged to do so.

The Cancersafe (comprehensive) panel should be performed at least once a year, or more if required, building your baseline and data for the future. Your report (since handling all results) will include graphs, demonstrating the evolution of the 10 (or 11) tumour markers: any abnormal increases would be an indication for medical consultation and further investigation.
