Cancer screening is a critical component of preventive healthcare, enabling the early detection of cancer when treatment is most effective. By identifying cancer at its earliest stages, screening not only improves survival rates but also reduces the physical, emotional, and financial toll of advanced disease.
Cancer screening involves a series of tests and evaluations designed to detect cancer before symptoms develop. Screening aims to identify abnormal cells or growths early, allowing for prompt medical intervention. It is not a diagnostic test but a preventive measure to catch potential issues early.
Screening can detect cancers like breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer early when they are easier to treat.
Studies show that regular screenings significantly lower the risk of dying from many common cancers.
Early-stage cancers often require less aggressive treatments and have higher recovery rates.
Screening can identify pre-cancerous conditions, enabling interventions to prevent the development of cancer.
Those with a family history of cancer may need to start screening earlier or undergo more frequent tests.
Smokers, those with a sedentary lifestyle, or those exposed to certain environmental risks may benefit from early and regular screenings.
Most cancer screenings are targeted at adults within specific age brackets, as outlined above.
We now offer LucenceINSIGHT Multi-Cancer Early Detection (MCED) – an exciting paradigm shift in the fight against cancer!
It requires a single blood draw to screen for 12 or 50 cancer types with high accuracy. (80.9% sensitivity and 99% specificity).
The aim of MCED is to detect cancer in its earliest form so that it can be targeted and removed completely to achieve “cure”, which is the “holy grail” of cancer treatment.
Unfortunately, cost is currently the limiting factor for MCED testing. At Love & Joy Family Clinic, our policy is to offer the lowest possible price (near vendor cost price) so as to allow our patients to benefit from these latest tests. We hope in the near future that MCED testing cost will come down to a reasonable price that would allow periodic testing.

Traditional tumour markers such as CEA, AFP, CA 19-9 have high false positive and false negative rates and therefore cannot be used reliably to diagnose or exclude cancers, but they can function as a follow-up after cancer diagnosis and treatment.
