Overview
Cancer is still one of the leading causes of illness and death worldwide. What makes it challenging is that many cancers such as prostate, colorectal, liver, and pancreatic can grow quietly for years without clear symptoms. In men, the risk of these cancers tends to increase after the age of 40, which is why regular screening becomes important. Catching cancer early can make a real difference when detected in the early stages, survival rates for many cancers are very high.
The Cancer Risk Assessment for Men (Standard) at RxDx Clinics is designed as a practical, evidence-based screening package to help identify early warning signs. It includes key tumour markers for prostate, colorectal, liver, pancreatic, and thyroid cancers some of the more common cancers seen in men in India. Along with this, the package also covers a complete blood count, stool occult blood test, and an abdominal ultrasound to look for any underlying changes.
This package works well as a yearly baseline check for men aged 35 and above, and for those with a personal or family history of cancer. Your results are reviewed by a qualified oncologist across two consultations, so you not only get the reports but also a clear understanding of what they mean and what to do next, if needed.
All tests are carried out at RxDx Clinics’ NABL-accredited labs, supported by advanced imaging facilities across Bengaluru. The aim is to make screening both reliable and easy to access so you can take a more proactive and informed approach to your health.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Cancer Risk Assessment for Men (Standard) package?
It is a preventive oncology screening package designed for men. It combines multiple tumour marker blood tests, a complete blood count, stool occult blood testing, a chest X-ray, an abdominal and pelvic ultrasound, and two oncologist consultations – all in one convenient package. The goal is to assess your personal cancer risk and detect any early warning signs before symptoms arise.
Do I need to fast before the test?
Yes, an overnight fast of 8-10 hours is preferred before sample collection. Plain water is permitted. Additionally, for accurate PSA results, please avoid strenuous physical activity, prostate examination, and sexual intercourse for at least 48 hours before your visit.
What cancers does this package screen for?
The tumour marker panel covers: prostate cancer (PSA Total), colorectal and other gastrointestinal cancers (CEA), pancreatic and bile duct cancers (CA 19-9), liver and testicular cancers (AFP), and thyroid cancers (Thyroglobulin and Calcitonin). The imaging and haematology tests further support detection of abnormalities in the chest and abdomen that may warrant further investigation.
Does a raised tumour marker mean I have cancer?
Not necessarily. Tumour markers are indicators of cancer risk – they can be elevated due to non-cancerous conditions such as benign prostate enlargement, infections, or inflammation. Elevated markers will be reviewed by the included oncologist consultation, who will advise on whether further diagnostic tests are required. This is why expert interpretation is critical and is included in the package.
When and how will I receive my reports?
Blood and stool test results are typically available the same day or the next day. Imaging reports (X-ray and USG) are ready within 24 hours. All reports are delivered in PDF format via WhatsApp and email, and are also accessible on the patient portal after your oncologist consultation. Printed copies can be collected from the front desk on request.
How do the included oncologist consultations work?
Two oncologist consultations are included with the package. In-person appointments are available at the Sarjapur Road and Whitefield branches on select days. Teleconsultation is available from any location across India. Our team will help schedule your consultation after your reports are ready and will share the appointment details via WhatsApp or call.
How often should I get this screening done?
Annual screening is recommended for men aged 35 and above, particularly those with risk factors such as a family history of cancer, lifestyle risks, or prior abnormal results. Your oncologist will provide personalized guidance on the frequency based on your individual risk profile and results.
