Cancer early detection

Cancer Early Detection

Targeted screening for the cancers that are survivable when found early.

Built around the sites where early detection changes outcomes most: stomach, colon, lung, liver, thyroid, breast or prostate. Korea screens for gastric and colorectal cancer at a scale no European system matches, and the endoscopy volume shows in the quality of the reads. Sex-specific modules are selected after your intake form.

This is the right package if

  • A first-degree relative with cancer
  • Ages 45+ who have never had an endoscopy
  • Smokers and former smokers

Everything included

Endoscopy

  • Upper endoscopy under sedation with narrow-band imaging
  • Colonoscopy under sedation
  • Biopsy and polyp removal if indicated, histology included

Imaging

  • Low-dose chest CT for lung nodules
  • Abdominal ultrasound for liver and pancreas
  • Thyroid ultrasound
  • Mammography and breast ultrasound, or prostate ultrasound

Laboratory

  • Tumour markers: CEA, CA 19-9, AFP, CA 125 or PSA
  • Hepatitis B and C serology
  • Faecal occult blood and faecal calprotectin
  • Full blood count and inflammation markers

What we add

  • Interpreter present for the endoscopy consent conversation
  • Histology results translated and explained once they arrive
  • If a finding needs treatment, we organise the follow-up pathway

How to prepare

You receive this as a dated countdown after booking, timed to your flight. Preparation is where most checkups fail, so we do not leave it to a generic PDF.

  1. 01Bowel preparation starts the day before — we send the protocol and the solution to your hotel
  2. 02Low-residue diet for three days before colonoscopy
  3. 03Sedation means no driving or flying for 12 hours
  4. 04Plan at least four days in Seoul

Not included

  • Flights and accommodation
  • PET-CT (available as an add-on)
  • Oncological treatment

This page describes diagnostic services. It is not medical advice and it is not a diagnosis. Which examinations are appropriate for you is confirmed by a physician reviewing your medical intake before your appointment, and we will substitute or refund if a package turns out not to suit you.
