Everyone can agree that getting diagnosed with cancer can be one of the worst news you can hear from a doctor. Cancer incidence is on the rise, and Singapore is no exception to this global trend. One of the best ways to protect ourselves is to stay informed and educated about cancer, particularly what we can do to detect it early, its risks and what we can do to prevent it.
According to World Health Organisation (WHO), 30-50% of cancers can currently be prevented by avoiding risks factors and implementing existing evidence-based prevention strategies. Early detection and treatment usually translates to better clinical and management outcomes.
It enables less aggressive forms of treatment, ultimately enhancing the patient’s overall quality of life and contributing to a notable reduction in mortality rates. This underscores the significance of staying well-informed. Recognizing the signs of a problem becomes possible only when you possess the knowledge to identify them.
What is Lucence INSIGHT™?
LucenceINSIGHT™ is a simple blood taking that uses proprietary amply on-based technology to screen for the signal of cancer with a specificity of 99.2%.
The test which requires simple blood taking by our skilled healthcare professional, will be sent to the lab to detects cancer-associated alterations circulating in blood. Advanced sequence analysis predicts the site of origin like in the diagram. The final report will be out in a few weeks and our doctor will go through it with you. If there is any need, referral to relevant specialist (both public and private) can be made.
OGD and Colonoscopy
OGD (Oesophago-gastro-duodenoscopy) and colonoscopy are scope procedures that allow the specialist to screen for cancer or any other abnormal lesions present in your stomach and large colon.
*Insurance claimable for both OGD and colonoscopy
Thorough Full Body Scan
It consists of the use of US, MRI and CT scans to optimise full body screening coverage. This combination of scans captures the major areas of the body: the head, neck, lungs, heart, spine, abdomen and pelvis, which allows the best visualisation with the lowest possible radiation. These scans provide insight into your health and can potentially detect diseases or lesions in the vital organs early.
If you are concerned about your health and body for whatever reason (e.g. lifestyle habits, family history, or you are just simply curious and would like some reassurance), a thorough full body scan is one out of 4 of our tools we have here at Ikigai Medical to help you.
Thorough whole body scan would involve using various imaging technologies that is best suited for the region of concern. Our doctor at Ikigai will choose the relevant scans for you, to help reduce cost and ratdiation for you.
Certain diseases can affect more than one part of the body. As such, a thorough body scan can potentially pick up such medical conditions. It is also useful for patients who have cancer predisposition syndromes.
A thorough full body scan is not supposed to replace the routine health-screening blood tests and physical examination that can be conducted in a health screening centre.
There are various medical conditions that our combined scans can possibly detect.
| Head/brain | Intracranial masses like brain tumours, aneurysm and strokes, age-related changes due to dementia |
| Spine (whole) | Spinal fractures, nerve compression, spinal tumours |
| Abdomen |
|
| Pelvis | Uterine polyps or tumour, ovarian tumours and cysts |
Depending on the imaging report results and which part of the body is involved, you will be referred to the relevant specialist (either public or private) for further follow-up care and management.
