Agilus Diagnostics offers various cancer screening tests that help detect cancers at an early, more treatable stage. These tests, such as Liquid-Based Cytology (LBC) for cervical cancer and Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) tests for prostate cancer, are effective in identifying abnormal cells or markers that indicate the presence of cancer.

The primary purposes of cancer screening include:

• Identifying cancer or precancerous conditions before symptoms arise.
• Providing early detection can lead to more effective treatment and higher survival rates.
• Monitoring individuals at high risk of developing cancer due to genetic factors or family history.

The test for cancer at AGILUS DIAGNOSTICS involves:

• Home Sample Collection: A phlebotomist will collect blood samples from the patient, at home, after you book for the test.

• Laboratory Analysis: The collected samples are sent to a laboratory where they undergo various tests to detect any abnormal cells, markers, or changes indicative of cancer.

Cancer screening plays a crucial role in detecting cancers early when they are more treatable. Agilus Diagnostics provides a variety of screening options to help identify risks and improve your chances of successful treatment.
