Overview
Men are less likely than women to have a formal cancer risk assessment — and cancers that respond well to early treatment are often caught late because nothing prompted an earlier look. Prostate cancer is often seen in men, especially as they get older. Colorectal cancer is among the leading causes of cancer-related death in men worldwide. Neither tends to produce obvious symptoms in the early stages.
The Cancer Risk Assessment for Men (Advanced) covers the cancers most relevant to men in a single visit: PSA testing for prostate cancer, tumour markers for colorectal, pancreatic, liver, and thyroid cancers, a full blood count, stool occult blood testing, abdominal and pelvic ultrasound, and a Low-Dose Chest CT Scan. The CT is what distinguishes this from the Standard version — it gives cross-sectional lung imaging that a chest X-ray cannot replicate, and is the recommended modality for men with a smoking history or known lung risk. Two oncologist consultations are included, so results are interpreted by a specialist rather than sent to you without context.

Who Should Take This Package?
- Men of any age with a personal or family history of prostate, colorectal, pancreatic, liver, thyroid, or lung cancer
- Men with a smoking history — current or past — or prolonged exposure to occupational lung hazards such as dust, asbestos, or chemical fumes, who want more detailed lung screening than a chest X-ray provides
- Those experiencing unexplained symptoms — changes in urination or urinary flow, blood in the stool, persistent abdominal discomfort, unexplained fatigue, or unintended weight loss
- Men who have not had a formal cancer risk review and want a comprehensive baseline with oncologist input included
- Those with a borderline PSA result or an abnormal finding on a previous test who want a more thorough follow-up assessment
- Men who prefer detailed CT-based lung imaging and are visiting the Whitefield branch
Benefits
- Low-Dose Chest CT Scan for detailed cross-sectional lung imaging — the recommended modality for lung screening in men with smoking history or lung risk factors, and considerably more informative than a standard X-ray
- PSA (Prostatic Specific Antigen) testing for prostate cancer screening — the most common cancer specific to men
- Multiple tumour markers covering colorectal, pancreatic, liver, and thyroid cancers in a single blood draw
- AFP included for liver and testicular cancer risk assessment
- Stool occult blood test for early detection of colorectal bleeding
- Abdominal and pelvic ultrasound to assess the liver, kidneys, bladder, prostate, and surrounding structures
- Two oncologist consultations included — in clinic or via teleconsultation
- NABL-accredited laboratory and advanced imaging facilities
- Reports delivered digitally; printed copies available on request
- EMI payment options available

Do I need to fast before my visit?
Yes, an overnight fast of 10–12 hours is required for certain blood tests. Water is permitted. Detailed preparation instructions will be shared after booking.
How does this differ from the Standard package for men?
Both packages include the same tumour marker tests, PSA, stool occult blood test, and abdominal and pelvic ultrasound. The Advanced package includes a Low-Dose Chest CT Scan; the Standard includes a Chest X-ray. The Advanced package is available at the Whitefield branch only. The Standard is available across all RxDx branches in Bengaluru.
What happens if a result needs follow-up?
If any finding — an elevated PSA, a raised tumour marker, or a nodule on the CT scan — needs further investigation, your oncologist will explain what it means and what the next step is. Our team will support you with any referrals or additional tests required.
